in my experience in this state, you can report abuse over and over and seldom is anything effective done about it by authorities.

A family member called for help after receiving an alarming phone call from Stephanie Olrun around 4:30 a.m. Friday, according to an affidavit filed by police in support of a criminal complaint.

At Olrun's home, police found the girl on the floor not breathing, the affidavit said.

An officer performed CPR on the child, but she was not revived, according to the affidavit. The girl had significant injuries all over her body, police wrote.

Olrun told officers that "she lost control because (the child) was not listening to her," the affidavit said.

Police believed Olrun tried to clean the home and the child's body after the assault, the affidavit said.

Olrun is facing first- and second-degree murder charges and a count of tampering with physical evidence.

On March 12, 2021, Olrun’s sister called the Bethel Police Department (BPD) to report Olrun called her and said she lost control, and her two-year-old adoptive daughter was no longer alive. Olrun’s sister said Olrun told her Olrun was going to jail and asked her sister to pick up her children. Olrun’s sister said Olrun was calm and did not show any emotion during the call. BPD officers went to Olrun’s house and found two-year-old Jane Olrun. They saw she was laying on a towel with her shirt opened, her eyes slightly open, and that she was unresponsive but still warm to the touch. Officers attempted chest compressions, and paramedics eventually took over care and transported her to the hospital, where a team of doctors and nurses attempted further life-saving measures. All attempts to revive baby Jane were unsuccessful, and she was declared deceased.

Olrun told officers she “just lost control” and said “I was kicking her, I threw her.” Medical personnel noted multiple injuries to Jane, including fresh and older injuries that were healing or had healed. The injuries included contusions, abrasions, suspected burns, lacerations and swelling to her head and face, including the skin of her upper eyelid, her nose, her lips and chin, a heavily bleeding injury to her left temple, as well as her neck, right arm and extremities, including both her hands and finger and feet and toes. The medical team observed multiple scars on her body, as well as noted older injuries to her thigh, a healing fracture on her left upper jawbone, a healing fracture to her shoulder, a healing fracture on her right arm, and a possible healing fracture on the lower back portion of her skull. They also noted Jane appeared severely malnourished.
