Horrifying police bodycam footage captured a stricken mother's primal cry of grief as she realized her 10-month-old baby girl had died under the care of her babysitter.
The tear-jerking moment unfolded on June 26, 2024, in Pekin, Illinois, when Branda Nichelle, the mother of little Sylvie Zacovic, broke down outside the home of her infant daughter's babysitter, Makenna Rhodes, 22.
Rhodes is set to go on trial for murder in October, with bodycam footage unearthed by Body Cam Edition likely to become central to the shocking case.
Nichelle was seen in the footage racing from her workplace after Rhodes called her to say Sylvie was found unresponsive in her cot, with paramedics and police already gathered at the home.
As she approached Rhodes' home, Nichelle began screaming as she was told that Sylvie was found in gravely serious condition, unresponsive and being taken to hospital.
'Oh my god, oh my god,' she wailed in the bodycam footage. 'She's just... oh my god.'
Rhodes tried to hug her, but Nichelle brushed her off before getting into a police cruiser to get to hospital.
Sylvie was tragically pronounced dead 30 minutes later, and police were seen immediately raising suspicions about Rhodes, saying she appeared 'too calm' as the chaos was unfolding.
In separate police footage that same day, Rhodes and her boyfriend were seen being interrogated as investigators realized Sylvie's death may not have been a tragic accident.

Knock off the racist crap.
“The poster in post number 8 was implying that it was a black person who killed the baby when in fact it was a young blonde white female.”
Every now and then one of these stories I post is a curve ball.
I knew by the way the baby was killed the perp was white woman. Had the perp been a black woman the death would have been more violent.
See my post 23
Very true. And many people do not show their emotions the same way as others. By itself, it doesn’t necessarily mean anything.
Feral blonde 20-something white babysitters?
Is that what you’re talking about?
Because it was a young blonde WHITE babysitter that killed the baby referenced in this story.
His post said nothing about race.
So tell me, what does “Scott Adams was right.” refer to?
What has this Scott Adams to do with the post I made??
Good grief. Stop
One of the low IQ parts of Scott Adam’s advice is how he doesn’t realize people don’t need his advice.
Nobody with a brain needs advice to stay away from violent criminals.
Another low IQ aspect is how Adams thinks skin color (melanin) causes violent behavior.
For the lower IQs on this site, let’s review the following principle:
THERE HAS NEVER BEEN A BLACK ON WHITE CRIME MORE HORRIFIC THAN THE MOST HORRIFIC WHITE ON WHITE CRIME.
For example:
“Bunker of Hell: Men Allegedly Paid to Rape Small Children in Underground Enclosure for More Than a Year”

The first step in raising your IQ corresponding with any given thought is to recognize how stupid your thought was.
If it’s painful to do this, try to be tough. Your IQ will be higher when your accept the fact that skin color doesn’t cause violent behavior and that following the advice of Scott Adams is a fool’s errand.
Not amny women have been lynched but this woman is a great candidate.
True, but in this case the babysitter confessed to smothering the baby to keep her quiet.
Let’s take a look at ways to avoid low IQ behavior:
1. don’t be anti-American
2. don’t try to instigate racial division like communists do
3. don’t be a communist
4. don’t infiltrate websites like this one, pretending to be a conservative patriot while living your life as a communist
5. don’t forget that communists and other anti-Americans have no thought process in their mind that accurately explains why they hate this country
I worked in a big city ER for years. When a kid expired in our ER a doctor obviously ad to inform the parents. They used to discuss...debate,actually...whose job it was to do so. The junior doctor in the debate usually lost..having been outranked by his/her superiors.
Not a job most people want, but when you’re new, just barely graduated, sometimes you will get an offer that you can’t refuse! Pecking order will rule.
It took a crooked (Republican) Governor (IIRC is name was Ryan) who,on his way out of office and into prison,declared the DP illegal in Illinois. I guess he figured that doing so would get him less time in prison.
Yeah me too
