Woman accused of murder after leaving 16-month-old daughter home alone while she vacationed

An Ohio woman has been charged with murder after she left her 16-month-old daughter home alone and went on vacation for over a week, WKYC reported.

Kristel Candelario, 20, found her daughter Jailyn unresponsive last Friday morning. The child was later pronounced dead at the scene with investigators saying she was "extremely dehydrated."

Candelario admitted she went to both Puerto Rico and Detroit for a total of eight days while leaving her daughter alone in the house without care, WKYC reported.

Investigators say the child's play bin was packed with "soiled blankets and a bottom liner saturated with urine and feces."

Candelario is being held on $1 million bond.
