Danielle Dauphinais is sentenced to 53 years in prison for the brutal murder of her 5-year-old son, Elijah Lewis, whose disappearance in September 2021 led to a tragic discovery weeks later. Prosecutors describe the case as one of severe abuse, detailing how Elijah suffered prolonged starvation, physical beatings, and inhumane treatment before his death.
Elijah, who lived with Dauphinais and her boyfriend, Joe Stapf, in Merrimack, New Hampshire, was first reported missing in October 2021, more than a month after he was last seen. A police investigation quickly revealed inconsistencies in Dauphinais’ account of her son's whereabouts. . .
