Juliette Marie Acosta, 26, of Oakdale, California, has been charged with murder and several other offenses following a fatal car crash in Stanislaus County that resulted in the death of her four-year-old daughter, Reagan Herrin. On March 8, just after 11 p.m., Acosta was driving a Subaru Impreza with a blood alcohol content of 0.15%, nearly twice the legal limit, when she sideswiped a telephone pole and crashed into an irrigation canal near Hickman, causing the vehicle to become submerged. Prosecutors allege Acosta left her daughter trapped inside the submerged car and was later found at a nearby home, reportedly taking a bath. Acosta's attorney has denied the allegation that she was taking a bath, calling the timeline implausible. First responders, including Acosta's uncle and a Stanislaus County deputy, attempted to rescue Reagan, who was transported to the hospital but later died. Acosta faces charges including DUI, murder, vehicular manslaughter, allowing a child to suffer under circumstances likely to cause injury or death, and resisting or obstructing a peace officer. She was detained at a San Francisco hotel after allegedly attempting to flee, and her father was also detained for allegedly trying to help her escape. Acosta is currently being held without bail. Acosta appeared in court but did not enter a plea. A bail review hearing is scheduled for May 7. If convicted, she could face a maximum sentence of life in prison. A GoFundMe campaign for Reagan's father has raised more than $22,000.
