As her three-year-old daughter lay dying, the mother appeared "calm" to the neighbors; nonetheless, she later allegedly admitted to killing her.

Sharon Sakoulos faces murder charges after confessing to intentionally killing her 3-year-old daughter Cassidy on New Year’s Eve 2025 in Columbus, Ohio, by suffocating her with a plastic bag. Police responded to a home around 5:30 p.m. after reports of the child not breathing, forcing entry and rushing her to Nationwide Children’s Hospital, where she was pronounced dead 30 minutes later.[ from prior context]

Incident Response

Neighbors described watching officers kick in the door to aid Cassidy, a “happy-go-lucky” Scooby-Doo fan known as a unicorn princess at Halloween. Bystanders were asked to pray as paramedics transported her; her mother Sharon stood calmly outside smoking, drawing comments on her stoic demeanor.​

The autopsy confirmed homicide tied to domestic violence. On January 2, 2026, the 41-year-old appeared in Franklin County court, where prosecutors detailed her confession; bail was set at $2 million with no minor contact, including her 13-year-old daughter living with her father. Next hearing is January 9, plea pending; a public defender represents her.​
