Navy wife found guilty in baby’s death in Hawaii military housing
A jury in Hawaii has found a Navy wife guilty of manslaughter in connection with the overdose death of a 7-month-old baby in military housing, according to local news reports.
Dixie Denise Villa is scheduled to be sentenced on Feb. 26, according to a report from Hawaii News Now. Abigail Lobisch was found dead Feb. 24, 2019, in Villa’s house at Aliamanu Military Reservation in Hawaii, where Villa was babysitting her.
An overdose of antihistamine was determined to be the cause of Abigail Lobisch’s death, according to court documents.
The trial, which began Nov. 4, was held in Hawaii’s civilian court system.
In September 2019, in the wake of the baby’s death, the Defense Department’s personnel chief called for officials to investigate reports of unauthorized daycare operations on installations. James Stewart, then-acting under secretary of defense for personnel and readiness, said officials should take appropriate steps to shut down these unauthorized operations.

HONOLULU (HawaiiNewsNow) – Honolulu Ocean Safety says high winds kept rescue crews busy on the water Saturday, officials said.
