BAKERSFIELD — A couple wanted in connection with the 2010 murder of a one-year-old Boron boy have been arrested.
Stephanie Bramlett, 23, and 25-year-old Adam Parrish were booked into the Kern County Jail for murder, child abuse causing great bodily injury, torture and willful cruelty to a child.
According to the Kern County Sheriff’s Office, the pair was being sought since Oct. 1, after homicide detectives were able to obtain arrest warrants charging them with the murder of Tristan Bramlett, which occurred on July 5, 2010.
At about 2 p.m. deputies responded to a trailer park in the 26000 block of Prospect in Boron to a report of a child not breathing.
Deputies said that when they arrived paramedics were treating the infant for head injuries, which he later died from at Loma Linda Medical Center on July 7, 2010. During their initial investigation, detectives arrested Bramlett and her live-in boyfriend Parrish, for willful cruelty to a child, but they were later released from custody.
An ongoing investigation ensued, and on Oct. 27, 2014, Bramlett was arrested in Anaheim, while Parrish was arrested in Lancaster a few days later on Nov. 6 Bramlett’s bail has been set at $2,000,000 and Parrish’s at $2,150,000.
