Babysitter arrested in 2021 death of Coshocton infant
COSHOCTON, Ohio (WCMH) — A babysitter has been arrested in the death of an infant more than two and a half years later.
On Monday, the Coshocton County Sheriff’s Office announced the arrest of a 36-year-old Coshocton woman who was the infant’s babysitter at the time. NBC4 is not naming the woman because she has not been formally charged with a crime.

The woman is accused in the death of then-15-month-old Graclynn Young on Aug. 10, 2021. The sheriff’s office credited “additional forensic information” as to why deputies arrested the woman on Monday.
The Coshocton County Prosecutor’s Office is reviewing the case for a decision on formal charges, the sheriff’s office said.
The child was in the woman’s care when, according to Graclynn’s mother Cheyene Untied, the woman sent a message to Untied that Graclynn was sick and running a 101-degree fever.
”I called her when she said it was 101 again, and I said ‘What’s going on?’ And that’s when she told me she couldn’t talk because she needed to call 911. That Graclynn wasn’t breathing,” Untied said in an interview with NBC4 in January 2022.

An autopsy report revealed that Graclynn suffered a skull fracture caused by blunt force trauma, an injury estimated to have happened between three and four hours before the child died.
