A Utah couple charged with the murder of their daughter allegedly let the baby languish alone for hours on end, keeping her in a crib littered with trash and remnants of food as she wasted away.

Carrie Marie Murray and Mitchell Chesnut Murray, both 31, are behind bars after being arrested on Wednesday in connection with the death of 18-month-old Ruby Marie Murray. The parents have been charged with aggravated murder and aggravated child abuse.
