On May 30, 2015, first responders arrived at a townhouse in Waterloo, Iowa, where they found four-year-old Gracie Buss unresponsive. Gracie’s mother, Kristi Buss, and her boyfriend, Chad Little, told police and medical staff that Gracie suffered a seizure and fell down the stairs. Tragically, Gracie died after three days on life support. Eighteen months later, both Kristi and Chad were arrested in connection with Gracie’s death.

At his murder trial, Chad Little’s varying stories about the incident fell apart thanks to the testimony of multiple medical professionals, friends and acquaintances, and especially Gracie’s older brother, who was eleven at the time of his baby sister’s death.

This is the heartbreaking story of Gracie Buss.
