Kaylee Ann Messerly of Craig has been sentenced to 26 years in prison, by Moffat County District Judge Sandra H. Gardner. Messerly was convicted of child abuse resulting in death and child abuse resulting in serious injury. This was from March 2021 when Messerly was found on a county road, in the snow.

That daughter and Messerly both tested positive for methamphetamine.
