Episode 205: Marion Jester-Montoya, Retold (Part 1)

In my thirteenth episode, I shared the story of 10-month-old Marion Jester-Montoya, an adorable and joyful little girl with a head full of dark hair and an ever-present smile. Marion died on January 7, 2020, after her mother’s boyfriend, Trevor Rowe, decided that instead of leaving Marion with his mother for the day like he usually did, he would stuff the baby into a backpack and leave her in the trunk of his car all day. Now, I’m re-telling Marion’s story from start to finish, including every update I’ve come across since the original episode. Most importantly, this re-telling involves Marion’s family, as it should have from the beginning. This is the heartbreaking story of Marion Jester Montoya.
