FAIRBANKS, AK. (THECOUNT) — Stephany Lafountain has been identified as the mother charged in Alaska with murdering her two small children almost two years apart.
Lafountain, 23, searched the internet for ways to kill — and get away with it — before calling for medical help for her baby daughter, police in Fairbanks said.
Stephany Lafountain called Fairbanks emergency services in November 2017, saying her 13-month-old child was not breathing. An hour earlier, police say, her internet searches had included “ways to suffocate,” “ways to kill human with no proof,” and “How to: Commit the Perfect Murder.” source
The child was rushed to a hospital but died four days later.
While investigating, police found that in September 2015, Lafountain also had called for help when her then 4-month-old child, also a girl, was not breathing. The death of that baby wasn’t investigated as a homicide at the time, but the similarities in the two cases caused investigators to broaden their probe, the police said in a press release.
Investigators thanked the Lafountain’s family for keeping silent over the nine months it took to investigate the case.
