According to court documents, Nicole Finn killed her daughter "intentionally, willfully, deliberately, with premeditation and malice aforethought."

Nicole and Joseph Finn are accused of secretly confining Natalie and two of her siblings, a 14-year-old girl and 15-year-old boy in their home and reports also say that the parents deprived the children of “food, clothing, shelter, health care or supervision,” which caused "substantial" physical, mental and emotional harm."

Police began investigating the Finns after responding to their home in October when Natalie was suffering cardiac arrest. She later died at a local hospital.

Both face charges of first-degree kidnapping, child endangerment causing serious injury and neglect of a dependent person. Nicole Finn is charged with first-degree murder and child endangerment causing death.

One of those neighbors, Becca Gordon, said that Natalie would wear the same clothes for several days and smelled of body odor. The girl repeatedly asked neighbors for food for her and her siblings.
