Crime Alert, I'm Nancy Grace, breaking crime news now. Shantelle Gardner has two children, ages 2 and 4 at home, but she lives with her boyfriend.

Gardner leaves the toddlers unattended, practically 24-7, only coming home a few hours once a day to feed them.

When Gardner returns home for a feeding, her four-year-old son comes to greet her,

but the taught girl, Skyler, does not. Gardner finds the little girl under a dresser, cold and

stiff. She runs outside, calls 911. First responders say, Skylar died from a large puncture wound

on her neck.

The rest of her body covered in bruises.

Nancy, first responders have to wade through trash, rotting food, soiled items, and even things like steak knives to get to Skylar.

Gardner admits the children are neglected and tells police she only bathes them about every two weeks,

often finding them covered in feces when she returns home to feed them.

Despite the neglected mission, Gardner denies physically abusing the toddlers and has no

explanation for Skyler's injuries.

Chantelle Gardner 33 now charged with child neglect causing death. Florida cops called when a fight breaks out at a funeral. Officers fine Marine and Kathleen Deegan 60 and 66 locked in a brawl just feet from their father's casket. After breaking up the fight, family explains the younger Deegan was upset that her daughter was left out of Kathleen's eulogy. The older sister, Maureen, reportedly chest-bumped Kathleen, who responded by yanking her sister's hair. Maureen then began throwing punches at Kathleen until both women fall to the floor full-on wrestling.

The Deegan sisters both booked into Clearwater County Jail on battery in order to have no

contact. Well, rest in peace, Dad. More crime and justice news after this.
