Summary

Kristel Candelario is off on a 10-day whirlwind of adventure and romance.

Ring door video from a neighbor shows Candelario hauling her suitcase to a car as she heads out of town, and she is posting pictures from the beginning of her trip about her 'best life' adventure.

Back at home in Cleveland, Ohio, in the late night, early morning hours, the same Ring Doorbell camera that catches Candelario loading her suitcase into a car before she leaves her home, now is picking up the faint sounds of a crying baby.

When Kristel Candelario leaves on her 10-day vacation, she places her 16-month-old baby, Jailyn, into a pack-n-play pen with a couple of bottles of milk and some crackers, nothing else. Jailyn is left alone, in a playpen, for 10 days straight. She dies from starvation and dehydration; she is hungry and thirsty.
