Infant’s Death Linked to Mother’s Plea | Boise News

A baby died from suffocation in a tragic December 2025 case, sparking a legal storm as the mother, Allysen Armenta, faces felony charges for destroying evidence and hiding the body — entering an Alford plea that admits guilt without full confession. The infant’s death was discovered during a welfare check alongside the father, Brian Lemke, who’s already sentenced. Prosecutors revealed the original crime scene was erased when the baby’s body was moved to another home, creating a second scene. Armenta’s sentencing is set for November 3rd, with one misdemeanor charge dropped in exchange for cooperation. This heartbreaking case underscores how fast tragedy can unfold — and the heavy consequences that follow. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
