VIENNA, Mo. (AP) — A central Missouri woman accused in her daughter’s fatal overdose death has pleaded guilty to two counts of child endangerment.

Forty-nine-year-old Starletta Blevins of Dixon entered the plea Monday in Maries County. Second-degree murder and distribution of a controlled substance charges are still pending.

Blevin’s daughter, 16-year-old Kaylynn Moore, was found dead in her bed of an overdose on Christmas Eve last year.

Authorities say this was isn’t the first fatal overdose in the family. A 15-year-old sister of Kaylynn’s had died in April of 2003 with similar symptoms.
