Connecticut Mother Charged With Murder in Infant's Drowning, Held on $5 Million Bond

An arrest affidavit cites the homicide ruling plus medical records describing prior psychological episodes.

Overview

  • Connecticut State Police arrested Sadie Fleming, 27, on charges of murder with special circumstances for a child under 16 and risk of injury to a child.
  • Investigators say a Silver Alert on June 8 prompted a multi-agency search after Fleming and her 1‑month‑old son, Hudson, were reported missing from their Washington residence.
  • Troopers later found Fleming soaking wet in an altered mental state and, when asked about the infant, she replied, “What baby?” according to the warrant affidavit.
  • Washington firefighters located Hudson unresponsive in Mallory Brook; he was pronounced dead at a hospital, and the chief medical examiner ruled the death a drowning homicide.
  • The affidavit describes recovered items near the brook, including an infant carrier and a vape pen, and references records noting past psychological episodes and a June 2 telehealth report of paranoia and manic feelings.
