their door in when they did not open it, and kicking the parents' bed to wake them up. McGonnell told the parents of Riley's rapidly-worsening condition and demanded they bring her to the emergency room, reportedly asking, "What if she dies?" Michael again refused to seek treatment for the girl; McGonnell later testified that Michael had acted as though "it was a big joke." Carolyn convinced Michael to allow Rebecca—reportedly "stiff, gasping for air, and moaning"—to sleep on the floor of their bedroom. Michael agreed, but told Carolyn to administer more clonidine to the girl. Before going to sleep, Carolyn provided another half-tablet of clonidine to Riley, allegedly to help the girl sleep. Carolyn and Michael awoke around 6:30 AM to discover Riley dead. A pink-tinted foam, originating from her nose and mouth, coated her face and hair and had pooled onto the carpeting. At 6:36 AM, Michael called 911 to tell the operator that his daughter had died during the night. Afterwards, Michael reportedly started shouting, "Rebecca's dead, Rebecca's dead. I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Upon hearing the news, McGonnell reportedly responded with, "I told you she was dying." Gerard and Kaitlynne were immediately transferred to foster care by DSS. Riley's body was eventually cremated; her ashes were first given to her parents, then to Carolyn's mother upon the parents' arrest.

They noted clonidine tablets missing from the bottles and pill box; bruises on Riley's thighs and inner arm that were consistent with physical abuse; and that Michael Riley had moved in with the family despite an active order from DSS requiring he be supervised around children. Michael was reportedly short-tempered with emergency responders, asking "how long this was going to take" and attempting to take the clonidine bottle from a police officer. Williams later testified that Kaitlynne and Gerard were sitting and playing with toys while emergency responders were at the home; Michael sought the children's clonidine tablets, but was unable to find them. Agitated, Michael unsuccessfully attempted to contact Kifuji and said he was seeking a refill for the siblings, who he claimed were "acting up." According to the arrest affidavit, while emergency responders were at the Riley household, Williams and McGonnell reported their concerns about Riley's treatment to police officers at the scene. They detailed the preceding events to the officers,
