In January 2000, a heartbreaking tragedy struck the Northern Colorado community when 22-month-old Brooklyn Digesualdo died under suspicious circumstances. Now, more than two decades later, Weld County Sheriff’s Office (WCSO) detectives are determined to uncover the truth and bring closure to Brooklyn’s family.
On January 22, 2000, Brooklyn was left in the care of her mother’s boyfriend, Miguel Sirio, at their home in unincorporated Frederick, Colorado, while her mother ran an errand. According to Sirio, Brooklyn reportedly fell off a bed while he was out of the room, and shortly after, he found her unresponsive.
Brooklyn was rushed to Children’s Hospital in Denver but tragically passed away. Despite extensive medical evaluations, her cause of death was never determined, and detectives suspect foul play in this case.
