Idaho Springs woman, boyfriend charged in baby’s death
An Idaho Springs woman accused of trying to have her boyfriend killed following the death of her infant son is now charged in the boy’s death along with the boyfriend.
Grand jury indictments for Haley Stanfield and Joshua Olsen were unsealed late Monday.
Prosecutors allege that Haley Stanfield shook her 15-month-old baby last May as Olsen watched and that they didn’t seek help for the boy until three days later when he stopped breathing.
Last year, Stanfield was charged with solicitation of murder for allegedly asking her son’s father to kill Olsen. She has pleaded not guilty and is in jail awaiting trial.
District Attorney Bruce Brown says Olsen is in custody out-of-state and will be extradited to Colorado.
A message left for Stanfield’s lawyer seeking comment wasn’t returned.
