Hedrick Pleads Not Guilty in Death of 3-Year-Old Conrad Ashcraft

Park Hills, Mo. (KFMO) - Tiffany Hedrick, the woman indicted in the death of 3-year-old Conrad Ashcraft, appeared in court via video on Friday.

Hedrick waived formal arraignment and entered a plea of not guilty to charges of second-degree murder, abuse or neglect of a child resulting in death, and armed criminal action. Her attorney declined a bond review, and the court made no changes to Hedrick’s current status. She remains held without bond in the St. Francois County Detention Center. The case is scheduled to return to court on August 22 at 8:30 a.m. for a confined docket hearing.

Authorities say the charges stem from an incident in May at Poppy’s Playhouse 2 in Park Hills.
