An Ida Grove woman faces up to 50 years in prison after being convicted for the death of her child two years ago.
According to court documents, 24-year-old Billie Mosier was convicted on one count of Child Endangerment Resulting in Death for the death of her three-year-old son Jordan Reed. Mosier pleaded “not guilty” and the guilty verdict was made earlier today (Fri). She waived her right to a speedy trial. A sentencing hearing is scheduled for May 5th, and she is scheduled to be sentenced on May 16th.
On the evening of May 4th 2023, the Battle Creek Ambulance Service was called to 500 Maple Street in Battle Creek for a call of an unresponsive child. Jordan Reed was not breathing, and he was transported to Horn Memorial Hospital in Ida Grove, and then to the Omaha Children’s Hospital. Jordan was pronounced dead the next day.
Mosier told authorities that she was traveling with Jordan in his car seat, arrived in Battle Creek, and found him slumped over. According to court documents, she said she assumed he strangled himself on the safety seat chest strap after falling asleep. An autopsy by the Iowa Office of the State Medical Examiner determined that while the child died of strangulation, his injuries were inconsistent with Mosier’s claims.
Mosier turned herself in to the Ida County Sheriff’s Office on November 30th, 2023.
