Newly released police bodycam footage is revealing troubling warning signs in the case of Utah father Micah Smith — captured just one week before a mountain hike that left his three young children freezing, critically injured, and fighting for their lives. The video shows Smith pulled over by police, armed, driving a truck with no plates, and displaying behavior that an officer later documented as concerning for his mental state. That same officer seized Smith’s firearms and impounded his vehicle. Days later, prosecutors say Smith took his children on a dangerous hike during a winter storm, allegedly ignoring their pleas to turn back. Now charged with multiple counts of child torture and aggravated child abuse, Smith remains jailed without bail. Law&Crime’s Chris Stewart is On the Case.

Maryland mother Destiny Faith Chiveral told 911 her newborn accidentally suffocated between couch cushions — but prosecutors say that story unraveled fast. Investigators allege the real evidence was on her own phone: Snapchat videos recorded just hours before the baby’s death showing her intoxicated while the infant cried in the background, along with a subtle but chilling detail at the scene — a picture frame that appeared straight in the videos but crooked when police arrived. An autopsy later ruled the 5-week-old’s death a homicide caused by blunt force trauma. Now, Chiveral is charged with first-degree murder and multiple counts of child abuse.
