Mom, 24, found bludgeoned to death in bath and daughter, 4, beaten unconscious 12 hours after 911 call
A MOM was found bludgeoned to death in a bath and her four-year-old daughter beaten unconscious — 12 hours after a 911 call was made.
Mackenzie Hopkins, 24, was discovered submerged in a tub at her home in Kansas City, Missouri, with blunt force trauma injuries to her face and head.
Hopkins' daughter, whose name was withheld, was today fighting for her life after being found last Saturday on her own bed suffering from severe head injuries.
The mother's dad found her bludgeoned body after requesting a welfare check, according to Jackson County Prosecutor Jean Peters Baker.
Police records say there were large pools of blood and drag marks in the house.
Detectives later found out that Hopkins had called 911 around 6 am that morning, roughly 12 hours before police entered the home and found the grisly scene.
The call-taker reported hearing people fighting.
It is not clear from police records whether police responded to the initial 911 call or how.
