Twenty-nine-year-old Courtney L. Kincaid of Columbia City appeared in a Whitley County court Monday after being jailed last week on charges including aggravated battery and neglect of a dependent causing death. She plans to hire a lawyer and didn’t comment while leaving the courthouse.
The Whitley County sheriff’s office responded in April 2018 to a report of an injured infant at Kincaid’s home and found 11-month-old Emma Grace Leeman wasn’t breathing. The child had a skull fracture.
Emma’s parents had left her with Kincaid earlier in the day. Kincaid initially told investigators the child hadn’t been injured but later changed her story.
