-Mariah Thomas-

A Missouri mom has been accused of baking her newborn daughter to death in
an oven after allegedly mistaking it for a crib.

Mariah Thomas, 26, was charged with endangering the welfare of a child
after one-month-old Za’Riah Mae was found dead with 'burn wounds',
according to an arrest warrant.

Cops were called to the mom's Kansas City home to reports of a child not
breathing on Friday- the day after Thomas' birthday.

When they arrived, they found the infant covered in burns, with her
'blackened' clothing melted onto her diaper.

A devastated friend of Thomas' told DailyMail.com that Za'Riah was a 'very
bubbly' baby, who was 'smiling all the time'.

She also suggested Thomas' mental health may have played a role in the
tragedy.

'Mariah had mental issues from what I know and didn’t have the mindset of
a adult, she thought like a child,' the friend said, adding she last
talked to the mom on Monday.

Za'Riah's grandfather told police he received a call from her mom at
around 1pm on Friday in which she told him 'something was wrong with the
baby and he needed to return home immediately'.

On returning home immediately began to smell smoke and found Za'Riah dead
in her crib.

Thomas told him she had 'accidentally' put her in the oven, according to
court filings.

Za'Riah was discovered by police in a car seat inside her home with
'apparent thermal injuries on various parts of a her body'.

She was wearing a bodysuit over a diaper which appeared to have melted
onto it which was 'very dirty, possibly burned'.

A charred baby blanket was also discovered and taken as evidence.

Thomas was transported to police headquarters for an interview where she
invoked her fifth amendment right to remain silent.

But she consented to detectives obtaining a blood draw and accessing her
phone data.

Thomas' social media presents her as a doting mom, who referred to her
daughter as her 'princess'.

In one Facebook post she states her desire to be, 'the best mother I can
be to my beautiful daughter.'

But in one haunting post made just weeks before the tragedy Thomas
complained that nobody was looking out for her.

'Mfs claim they my friend by don't never check up on me or Za'Riah,' she
wrote on January 20.

Thomas is currently being held at the Jackson County Detention Center.
