GLENWOOD SPRINGS, Colo. (KDVR) The mother of a 5-year-old girl who died from a methamphetamine overdose was sentenced to 32 years in prison Friday morning for charges of murder in the second-degree and criminal trespass involving domestic violence.
Stephanie Alvarado.
Sobbing as she took the stand before Garfield County District Judge Denise Lynch Friday morning, Stephanie Alvarado took full responsibility for her young daughter’s death.
“The day I laid my child to rest, I wanted to go into the ground next to her,” she said in a prepared statement. “I didn’t want to leave her alone in the dirt.”
Alvarado, accused in 2019 of not seeking medical attention for her 5-year-old daughter, Sophia Larson, after she fatally ingested bong water contaminated with methamphetamine, was convicted of second-degree murder and sentenced to 32 years in prison. With additional felony charges, Alvarado was originally facing up to 48 years behind bars.
