"She staged a drowning to hide what she did."
她偽造溺水現場，只為掩蓋女兒的真正死因。

一個悲劇開始于凌晨三點 A Tragedy Began at 3 A.M.

2025年6月27日凌晨，佛羅里達州邁阿密郊區，警方接到報警電話，一名母親稱她4歲的女兒溺水。

On June 27, 2025, around 3 a.m., police in El Portal, Florida, received a call from a mother reporting that her 4-year-old daughter had drowned in a pool.

女孩名叫Aria Talathi，在被送往醫院后被宣告死亡。她的母親，Neha Gupta博士，是一名來自俄克拉荷馬的兒科醫生。

The child, Aria Talathi, was pronounced dead at the hospital. Her mother, Dr. Neha Gupta, a pediatrician from Oklahoma, said she tried to help but could not swim.

她聲稱，當晚她和女兒住在租來的房子里，凌晨三點醒來，發現孩子不見了。她打開門，看見孩子沉在泳池中。

Gupta told police that she woke up around 3 a.m. and found her daughter missing. She claimed to have found her floating in the pool.

法醫鑒定：她根本沒溺水 Medical Examiner: No Drowning

2天后，法醫報告揭露了真相：孩子肺和胃里沒有水，口腔有撕裂傷，臉頰內部有淤傷。

The autopsy revealed there was no water in the child's lungs or stomach. Instead, there were cuts inside her mouth and bruises on her cheeks.

“The injuries were consistent with smothering.”
——初步結論：她是被窒息而死的。

警方認為，Neha Gupta在孩子去世后，將尸體搬到泳池中，偽造溺水現場，掩蓋自己殺害女兒的事實。

Detectives concluded that Gupta staged the drowning to cover up that her daughter was smothered before ever touching the water.

?? 動機：撫養權爭奪戰 The Motive: A Custody Battle

Aria的父母正在進行撫養權官司，而母親私自帶走女兒，從俄克拉荷馬飛往佛州，未告知前夫。

The couple was involved in a custody dispute. Gupta took Aria from Oklahoma to Florida without notifying the father.

事發后，Neha Gupta被逮捕，面臨一級謀殺指控。她將被引渡回邁阿密接受審判。

Gupta was arrested and charged with first-degree murder. She will be extradited to Miami-Dade County for prosecution.

你怎么看？What’s Your Take?

這不是電影情節，而是真實發生在2025年夏天的事件。
當“母親”變成“兇手”，我們到底失去了什么？

• What makes someone kill their own child?

• Is custody ever worth a life?

• How do you tell when someone is hiding the truth?
