A Nevada couple has confessed to murdering their young child after she wet herself, with the body still missing years later. Ricky Beasley and Lakeia Walker entered guilty pleas in connection with the 2018 death of their daughter Zaela Walker.

Ricky Beasley, 34, and Lakeia Walker, 35, pleaded guilty to second-degree murder and accessory to commit murder respectively. Prosecutors said Beasley threw the 3-year-old against a wall in a fit of rage and later searched online for ways to stop seizures in children. The grandmother reported hearing a loud thud before seeing Beasley holding the crying girl.
