Seven-week-old Mario Granados Plafex was brought to Vanderbilt University Medical Center on July 16, 2007, suffering a broken leg, fractured ribs, and a severe head injury. He never regained consciousness after arrival and is listed as having died on July 30, 2007, consistent with reports that he died days after the July 16 admission.

The baby had been in the care of his aunt, Marisol Alvarado, when the injuries occurred. According to the mother, Ana Granados, Alvarado told her the infant had been crying, that the caregiver lost her temper, and that he was struck. Medical records referenced in coverage described findings consistent with shaken baby syndrome and additional broken bones.

Authorities say Alvarado fled to Mexico and was placed on the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation’s Most Wanted list; she was captured by Mexican police with FBI assistance in January 2014 and returned to Nashville in late April 2015 to face first-degree murder, child abuse, and child neglect charges. Does anyone have information about Mario, his caregivers, or the period before July 16, 2007?
