Disturbing internet searches that revealed Alaska mother’s atrocious crime

A young mother has been sentenced to 130 years in prison after a series of internet searches showed she killed her two infant daughters years apart from each other.

Stephany Elizabeth Bilecki, formerly LaFountain, was hit with the sentence Monday and is set to spend the rest of her life in an Alaskan prison.

The 29-year-old committed the killings in 2015 and 2017, and had spent the past six years in jail.

The first occurred on September 15, 2015, when four-month-old Chyanne suffocated to death. Initially, the girl’s death was deemed inconclusive. This changed after her sister’s death on November 24, more than two years later.

Jasmine, then only aged 13 months, died from a lack of oxygen to the brain. An investigation ensued, this one that the incident was a potential murder.

When police began the probe forensic teams found a series of startling searches saved on the woman’s smartphone.

Penned about an hour before she dialed 911 to claim the infant had stopped breathing, they included, ‘Ways to kill human with no proof’, ‘Drowning and Forensics’, and ‘How to: Commit the Perfect Murder’.

Other incriminating inquiries included ‘Ways to suffocate’, ‘Best ways to suffocate’, ’16 steps to kill someone and not get caught’, ‘Suffocating and Smothering’, and ‘Can drowning show in an autopsy report.’ Officials confirmed the sentencing in a release.

‘Stephany Elizabeth Bilecki was sentenced to a composite sentence of 130 years with 85 years suspended for the 2015 and 2017 murders of her infant children,’ the statement from the State of Alaska Department of Law read.

Recounting her crimes, the bulletin went on to describe how in 2015, Bilecki called her boyfriend, and then her mother, from her home in Fairbanks to tell them Chyanne was dead.

‘Ten minutes later, just before her mother arrived, she finally called 911,’ officials added.

‘Chyanne was otherwise healthy, and the death was originally presumed to be SIDS [sudden infant death syndrome],’ officials wrote. ‘Later investigation revealed minor injuries consistent with suffocation.’

The statement then fast-forwarded two years to 2017, when Bilecki attempted to call her husband, who had been deployed overseas, lawmen said.

After that, she phoned her in-laws – this time reporting Jasmine was no longer breathing.

In that instance, Bilecki called 911 ‘just before her in-laws arrived at the house,’officals said.

A subsequent search of her phone uncovered the trove internet searches, which, according to the release, were rife with misspellings. 

An investigation ensued, this one painting the incident as a potential murder. When police began the probe, forensic teams found a series of startling searches saved on the woman’s smartphone. Jasmine, who would have been 8, is seen here

Website visits within the hour before she called 911 for Chyanne also involved ‘ways to sufficate’ [sic], ‘ways to kill a human with no proof,’ ‘drugs that can kill ppl with no trase'[sic], ‘can drowning show in an o autopsy report'[sic], ’16 steps to kill someone and not get caught’

‘Website visits within the hour before she called 911 involved “ways to sufficate” [sic], “ways to kill a human with no proof,” “drugs that can kill ppl with no trase”[sic], “can drowning show in an o autopsy report”[sic], “16 steps to kill someone and not get caught,”’ officials wrote.

An autopsy, moreover, indicated cause of death was lack of oxygen, officials said – after noting other similar searches and sites.

Following ‘a lengthy investigation,’ Bilecki – a deli worker at Fred Meyer’s the time,  according to her LinkedIn – was indicted on August 29, 2018, for both murders.

She only pleaded guilty this year, however, to one count of Murder in the Second Degree for each child, leaving the girls’ relatives to wait for justice for more than six years.

The girls’ grandmother wrote on Facebook on Sunday, ‘The day has finally come. Tomorrow she will be sentenced!!’  

Superior Court Judge Patrica Haines, meanwhile, presided over the sentencing proceedings.

The girls would have been eight and nine years old respectively, if they had lived until today.
