The girl was born on July 14, 2014, in Gaya and was adopted by the NRI parents on July 8, 2016.
A video of the three-year-old Indian American girl Sherin Mathews, from the day she was adopted from a Bihar Orphanage, is surfacing on Social Media and it shows both the foster parents extremely happy while receiving the toddler.
The couple, Wesley Mathews and Sini Mathews, visited the Mother Teresa Anaath Seva Ashram in Nalanda with their elder daughter and the video shows Sherin, who was then named as Saraswati, is crying just like any other child in the hands of strangers.
The girl was born on July 14, 2014, in Gaya and was adopted by the NRI parents on July 8, 2016.
She was reported missing on October 7, 2017, and her foster parent’s first statement said the child went missing 15 minutes after he left her alone outside for not drinking milk at 3 a.m.
Wesley Mathews was re-arrested soon after the Richardson Police Department recovered the girl’s body from a culvert near their home in Richardson.
Mathews, who changed his previous statement on the girl’s disappearance and said the death was due to choking milk, was charged with the first-degree felony, which is punishable by life or from 5 to 99 years in prison.
He is at the Lew Sterrett Justice Center in the custody of the Dallas County Sheriff’s Department and is placed under suicide watch. However, Sini Mathews denies any involvement in the death of the toddler.
