UPDATE 8/30/08 - Heidi Dieball pleaded guilty on Friday to second-degree intentional murder and two counts of child abuse in connection with the death of toddler Andrew Haga. As part of the plea bargain, she admitted to intentionally beating the child to death. She will be sentenced October 24 and will likely serve about 19 years for her crimes. Details at the bottom of this article.
Wichita, KS (January 10, 2008) - Heidi Dieball, 24, has some serious furniture. On January 4, according to Heidi, her couch killed 19-month-old Andrew Haga. Andrew’s mother Athena Haga had left Andrew with Heidi, her roommate, overnight on January 3.
Early the next morning, Heidi called Athena to let her know that baby Andrew wasn’t breathing and reportedly asked, “What should I do?” Andrew’s mom flipped out and told Heidi to call 911. She may have added “dumbass”. I know I would have.
When emergency workers arrived sometime later, they found a dead baby Andrew… and a lying sack of shit named Heidi.
Heidi’s story is that Andrew just boom, fell off the couch. As all nineteen month old children are prone to at four in the morning. But it seems that Heidi’s couch, it’s a badass couch. Because while Andrew was falling off of it, the couch scratched Andrew all up and slammed his head hard enough to cause a fatal brain bleed.
I know, right? That damn couch, beating on babies like that.
Heidi was unemployed and moved in with Athena and Andrew Haga on Christmas Eve. The arrangement was that Heidi could live rent-free in exchange for babysitting. If I were Athena Haga, I think I’d be asking for back rent, but it’ll be tough to collect with Heidi in jail on murder charges in lieu of $500,000.00 bond.
UPDATE 8/30/08:
So maybe it wasn’t the couch after all. Heidi Dieball has taken a plea deal that allowed her to plead guilty to second degree intentional murder and two counts of child abuse in connection with the death of Andrew Haga. In court on Friday, Dieball admitted that she beat Andrew Haga twice while she was left alone with him in January. Then - holy cats, get this - Heidi said she beat that baby a third time to kill him. On PURPOSE.
The autopsy report showed that Andrew had “at least 24 bruises on his head and multiple bruises on his chest, hips and stomach”, and that that Andrew died of severe head injuries.
Because Heidi pleaded to second-degree murder, she’ll be sentenced to about nineteen years instead of the life sentence she was facing under the original first-degree murder charge. I’m still trying to figure out how intentional murder is second-degree, but whatever. At least the couch is off the hook.

Her myspace site says, “My apologies”. Was that after all this?
I would hope she’d have a better picture of herself for all the world to see. In that pic, she looks like an alien is moving around in her forehead.

Maybe she logged in and never changed her mood, seems strange though!

Jan 10, 2008 at 2:44 pm -Thats why I love you, PMS. You are so gosh-darn smart.
Most people around here have been reading true crime for years. We can all just about “predict” every single mom loves boys more than the kids. Or in this case, mom loves free babysitting.
Its hard being a parent that scrimps,saves, and struggles so the kids can have (and seldom appreciate )basketball shoes, cheerleading shoes, snow boots, regular shoes, and dress shoes….when you’ve been wearing the same beat up nikes for 4 years.
Its even harder and much sadder to watch these people have kids that cannot comprehend no one is going to love them like they do.
Its hard not being able to have more, because you physically can’t or cannot afford it, and see all these poor babies used and thrown by the side of the road(or couch in this case) Then there are the ones that make it to 7, and get shot by the boyfriend.
With so much fucking misery in the world, I think its great a few of us can laugh at ourselves, and try to inject a smile into someones day. If you go ON to read….you’ll see that I was not the only one who tried to inject humor in a bad situation…guess the couch jokes are okay though, thats just making fun of how he died.

When he, assuming Reski is a he called Ells a dumbass, that was totally uncalled for.

Jan 10, 2008 at 3:13 pm -Just for the record
lying sack of shit, = Heidi Dieball of the ever-entertaining last name, who was present when police arrived, murdered little Andrew, and is a lying sack of shit.
Andrew = not lying in a sack of shit, although if given the choice between sack of shit and dead the poor baby would probably be fine with the former.
Couch = dirty, dirty whore.

Jan 10, 2008 at 3:28 pm -I can only imagine. It’s hard enough being a married parent and considering our finances to be comfortable. I shop the markdowns at the pricier stores so my kids can have quality and a few of the popular brands. My son STILL comes home complaining that kids make fun of his “crappy nike shoes”. Should i mention these kids are GIRLS who are wearing NIKE shoes?

I am the ultimate bargain shopper- mark downs at the mall, TJs and Marshalls for the close outs.
There is a Nike and Reebok outlet store near me, so we can usually find pretty good deals there,too.

Jan 10, 2008 at 3:42 pm -Yes , private and last accessed on 12/3.
Earlier I posted Athena’s said she was optimistic, I thought that seemed callous, I retract since it also says: ” Athena eating bonbon’s watching blue’s clues (what are bonbons?)”
I’m assuming she has not updated any info even though she/ someone logged in on 1/9/08. I feel some remorse for my comment.
I feel horrible for her.

Seriously.. this one just goes to show that women can be just as heinous and evil as men can.
Okay, back to the couch-pimping
