Nebraska mom gets 55-75 years for killing daughter, 4

MADISON, Neb. (AP) - A northeast Nebraska woman convicted of killing her 4-year-old daughter has been given 55 to 75 years in prison.

Carla Montoya was sentenced Thursday in Madison County District Court. She’d been found guilty Jan. 31 of intentional child abuse resulting in death.

Prosecutors say Montoya told police she became angry at her daughter, Caylee, and tossed her into a bed three times on March 12, 2016, and that the girl may have hit her head on the bed frame or a wall. The girl died days later in an Omaha hospital.
