The defendants tried to cover up the overdoses of the babies, prosecutors said Tuesday. Investigators discovered video of someone "carrying two full shopping bags" out of the day care, leaving the children suffering the effects inside and in desperate need of help.
Detectives have learned that Mendez talked to her husband several times, before calling 911, in the immediate aftermath of Friday afternoon's tragedy.
Prosecutors say Mendez deleted 20,000 text messages from her phone before she was arrested, but they managed to recover them.
A kilogram of fentanyl was stored on top of children's playmats used for napping at the day care, according to the criminal complaint.
