WOMAN FOUND GUILTY OF NEGLECT CAUSING DEATH IN CASE OF TWO-YEAR-OLD

(Richmond, IN)--A Richmond woman was sent to jail Thursday following a trial this week in Wayne Superior Court II in which she was found guilty of neglect of a dependent causing death.  65-year-old Pamela Barger now faces what will likely be a sentence that will keep her behind bars for the rest of her life.  Back in the summer of 2019, Barger was running a babysitting service at her home on North 19th.  A two-year-old child suffered catastrophic injuries at the hands of Barger and her accomplice, Todd Volker, and eventually died.  Volker has already been sentenced to 25 years.  Barger will likely get a similar sentence on April 19.
