Athena Brownfield's caretaker appeared to post eerie Instagram photos after toddler's suspected murder
Fox News
Alysia Adams, an Oklahoma caretaker charged in connection with the disappearance of 4-year-old Athena Brownfield, appeared to post Instagram selfies after the toddler's death.
Athena Brownfield was initially reported missing on Jan. 10 after a postal carrier found her 5-year-old sister wandering around alone in Cyril, Oklahoma, around 2 p.m. Investigators believe Athena died while under the watch of her caretakers, Ivon and Alysia Adams, on Dec. 25, 2022.

Between Christmas and Alysia's arrest on Jan. 12, she posted multiple photos of herself and inspirational quotes to her Instagram account — despite confessing to police that Ivon beat the toddler to death on Dec. 25, according to an affidavit.
"When you start to love yourself everything else will fall into place," Alysia apparently wrote in the caption of a Jan. 3 Instagram post, along with a selfie.
