Oregon couple murdered 1 child, tortured another
SANDY, Ore. — A 27-year-old Sandy man was charged Monday with murdering one of his children and torturing another. Clackamas County prosecutors alleged that Donald Cockrell, along with his fiancee, 24-year-old Michelle Smith killed 3-year-old Alexis Pounder by physically abusing her and starving her to death. New charges, revealed during an arraignment hearing, alleged that Cockrell and Smith also assaulted and tortured another child, Pounder’s sister, according to Assistant District Attorney Christine Landers. The new allegations involving a second child Cockrell fathered came from court documents that described Alexis Pounder’s death as due to “blunt force trauma” and “acute starvation.” Read more: North West Cable News
