Newly obtained records indicate the Warren County mother whose child died in the back seat of their car after being left inside all day as the mother worked was running late that day.
A search warrant affidavit filed by Mason Police Department Detective Jeff Wyss said Karen Osorio-Martinez left her 15-month-old daughter, Sofia Aveiro, inside the car for about nine hours Wednesday.

“Upon speaking with Ms. Osorio-Martinez, she advised that she was running late to work and usually drops Sofia off at daycare. It was also determined that Sofia’s father, Henrique Aveiro, attempted to pick up Sofia up at daycare and was advised she was not there, so he contacted his wife as she was leaving work,” the affidavit said.
“A rear-facing child restraint seat was located in the back seat of the vehicle behind the driver.”
