Stepmother Convicted in 1978 Scalding Death of 5-Year-Old After Brother's Testimony
Janice Nix, 67, has been found guilty of manslaughter in the 1978 death of her 5-year-old stepdaughter, Andrea Bernard, who died after being forced into a scalding bath as punishment. The case was reopened in 2022 after Andrea's brother provided a new account to police, leading to the conviction nearly 50 years later.
