Six months before Anahi’s death, Denver Human Services opened an investigation because an intoxicated Juarez drove his son to the emergency room. Juarez admitted to driving drunk but explained that his son was having a hard time breathing and there was no one else to take the boy. Juarez and Gonzalez accepted visits from child protection workers after the drunk driving report and appeared to be making progress as a family.

 

Anahi Juarez's parents still do not know the details of how their daughter died Sept. 7, 2010.

Juarez left for work that morning. Gonzalez had a doctor’s appointment, and the two left Anahi and her older brother, Jesus, in the care of Juarez’s seventeen year old cousin Arnoldo. That morning, Arnoldo fell asleep the children were left unsupervised while he was sleeping, Jesus went into the bathroom and turned on the water in the bathtub. Ten month old Anahi fall into the tub and drowned.

 

The coroner's report lists drowning as the cause of death, and the manner of death was determined to be accidental. Arnoldo was charged as a juvenile in the case, and his case file is sealed.
