Rachel D. Jarrett, 35, and Dale R. Bible, 42, were indicted for murder and arrested late Thursday at a Hermitage hotel. They are accused of being responsible for the death of their daughter, Adeline Bible, who was born prematurely.

That day she was rushed by ambulance from the family's East Webster Street home in Madison to Skyline Medical Center where she died.

Investigators says her heart/oxygen monitor was turned off early on the evening of September 19th and allege that both parents are knew her oxygen level had fallen to a dangerously low level before the equipment was deactivated.

The parents are being held in lieu of $200,000 bond each.
