A San Angelo man charged in connection with the death of his 4-month-old daughter, who was found dead inside a motel dresser drawer in Houston, remained jailed Monday in the Tom Green County Jail.
Jeremy B. Fancher was being held on an $850,000 bond for a murder charge out of Harris County, online jail records show.
In addition, Destiny Campos, the baby's 21-year-old mother, was being held in Harris County Jail on a $250,000 bond for a murder charge, according to online jail records and Harris County Sheriff Ed Gonzalez's social media.
Jeremy Fancher's current girlfriend, Marilyn Jennifer Mork of San Angelo, was charged with hindering apprehension or prosecution of a known felon in connection with a June 21 incident, according to online jail records and a Facebook post by Gonzalez.
The body of Brookelynn Fancher was found inside a motel dresser drawer back in May 2024, Gonzalez posted on Facebook.
On May, 26, 2024, Harris County sheriff's deputies responded to a child death at a motel in the 7100 block of Rancho Mission Drive in Houston, Gonzalez stated in the post.
"The parents were reportedly living at the location for over a year," Gonzalez stated.
The infant was found unresponsive and pronounced deceased, the sheriff stated.
"The infant reportedly slept inside a dresser drawer and that's where she was found," Gonzalez stated. "Murder charges were accepted on both the father and mother of the infant."
Jeremy Fancher was taken into custody and booked into the Tom Green County Jail for murder on June 21, online jail records show.
Sgt. John Bouligny with the San Angelo Police Department said the local police don't have details on the murder charge.
"We don't have details on the charge since it was a warrant arrest. We were assisting the other agencies," Bouligny said.
On Facebook, Gonzalez thanked those who worked on the case in the Harris County Sheriff's Office and at other agencies, including San Angelo police and the Tom Green County Sheriff's Office.
"Thanks to them we are closer to securing justice for baby Brookelynn," Gonzalez said.
