Tragic Death of 14-Year-Old Girl in Boone County Leads to Charges for Grandparents
BOONE COUNTY, W.Va. (WOWK) — The tragic death of 14-year-old Kyneddi Miller, a Boone County girl who was found dead in a bathroom in an “emaciated to a skeletal state,” has led to charges being filed against her grandparents.
Donna Sue Stone, aged 76, and Jerry Carter Stone, aged 75, are facing charges of child neglect resulting in death. They are currently being held on a $25,000 property or 10%-cash bond.
Kyneddi’s mother, Julie Miller, had previously waived her preliminary hearing back in April. She was arrested after her daughter’s body was discovered in a dire physical condition, with reports indicating that Kyneddi had not been outside more than twice in the span of four years and had not attended school since 2019 or 2020.
The criminal complaint outlined Kyneddi’s “clear and distinct physical problems” that had been neglected for at least four years, ultimately leading to her untimely death.
Julie Miller is also facing charges of child neglect resulting in death and is currently being held in the Southwestern Regional Jail on a $250,000 bond.
Neighbours of the family, who chose to remain anonymous, expressed shock at the severity of the situation, noting that they had seen state police conducting wellness checks at the residence. They described the grandparents as respected members of the community and stated that they had never suspected any neglect or abuse in the household. Some neighbours believed that the sudden weight loss experienced by Kyneddi indicated that the family had been planning to seek help for her.
Previous interviews with the family by local news outlet 13 News revealed their request for privacy and prayers as they navigate through this challenging period.
