The mother who reportedly admitted to killing her 5-year-old daughter at a Tomball-area park in 2022 was found not guilty by reason of insanity, court documents show. Melissa Towne, 40, had been charged with capital murder. What’s next: Per the Texas Code of Criminal Procedure, when someone is acquitted by reason of insanity with a finding of dangerous conduct, that person will be sent to a mental health facility to be evaluated for their current mental state and treatment. A court hearing has to be held within 30 days to determine what should happen next.
