Olivia Gant Death: Mom Accused Of Murdering Make-A-Wish Kid
Kelly Gant, 41, is accused of murdering her 7-year-old daughter, who was suffering from a terminal illness.
GLENDALE, Colo. (CBS4) – A mother who said her young daughter was diagnosed with a terminal illness is now accused of murdering the girl after a grand jury indictment. Kelly Gant, 41, also known as Kelly Renee Turner, was arrested Friday at a Denver-area hotel and is being held without bond in the Douglas County Jail in the 2017 death of 7-year-old Olivia Gant.
Kelly Gant said Olivia was diagnosed with neurogastrointestinal encephalomyopathy, a disease that attacks many of the body’s vital organs. In 2017, the Make-A-Wish Foundation DaVita Inc., a dialysis company in Denver, helped Olivia live out her fantasy of dressing up as “Bat Princess” to battle Ursula and Captain Hook to save the Disney princesses Bella and Ariel.
