Claim 11: “Autumn Cordellioné, who was sentenced to 55 years in prison in 2002 for the strangling death of 11-month-old Faith Lee, returned to her hometown of Evansville, Indiana, last December on parole, but prosecutors only learned of her release from a citizen, not the state, reported the Evansville Courier & Press.”
