Metropolitan Nashville Police Department (MNPD) detectives have brought 35-year-old Marilyn Elizabeth Slope from her Pennsylvania residence to Nashville where she is under indictment for murder and aggravated child neglect in connection with the February 2016 death of her 12-year-old daughter.
Slope previously lived in Highland County.
Shirley Mae Slope, who suffered from juvenile diabetes, was airlifted from Wildersville, Tennessee (Henderson County) to Vanderbilt University Medical Center on Feb. 11, 2016, after she became unresponsive in a vehicle on I-40 while traveling with her mother and others from Louisiana to Ohio.
Shirley Slope died at Vanderbilt on Feb. 15, 2016. Staff at Vanderbilt relayed concerns about Shirley’s situation and possible abuse to the Medical Examiner’s Office, which, in turn, contacted the MNPD’s Youth Services Division.
The investigation shows that mother and daughter lived in a mobile home in Ball, Louisiana, without utilities. Shirley was reportedly already ill when she left Louisiana with her mother and two acquaintances on Feb. 9, 2016. The trip began and continued without Marilyn Slope seeking medical treatment for her daughter. The child’s condition deteriorated to the point that she was unresponsive while on I-40 in Henderson County. A Tennessee Highway Patrol trooper was summoned as was other assistance.
Shirley Slope, died at Vanderbilt in Nashville as the result of alleged neglect, resulting in the murder indictment. Her residency was listed as Hillsboro, Ohio at the time of her death.
Marilyn Slope’s bond is set at $100,000.
