Whitmer’s account of what Rueda must have done to Noah was based on evidence presented at Rueda’s trial and information from the doctors who treated him after he was rushed to Inova Fairfax Hospital. “I knew it could hurt him if there wasn’t enough oxygen going to his brain.” “I said, ‘Please, please get someone here,’ ” she said. She put the dispatcher on speakerphone so she could keep tending to Noah.
It was as if he was looking for air, and he couldn’t breathe.” Rueda put Noah on the floor and started C.P.R., at the same time reaching for her phone to call 911. “As I did this, his body tensed up in a ball. She stood up and put Noah on her shoulder, patting him on the back. “I could tell something was happening,” she says. While she was feeding him, she felt Noah’s arm go limp, and when she moved to take the bottle out of his mouth, he made a sound that she didn’t recognize. Rueda says that Noah was crying, and she picked him up, sat on the couch and gave him the bottle to help put him to sleep. There are two irreconcilable versions of how that calm shattered. “Everything was calm and quiet,” Rueda, who has soft features and dark hair, told me in Spanish while her lawyer translated. Rueda’s sister-in-law, who spent the morning with the children while Rueda was at a doctor’s appointment, had just left the house.

When Rueda sat down to feed Noah, her 13-year-old daughter was at school, her 5-year-old was upstairs watching TV and the four other children in her care were taking naps. After they moved to the United States in 2001, the couple had a second child, and three years later Rueda converted her basement into a home day care center so she could work while spending time with her two kids. In her native Peru, Rueda, who is 46, ran a travel agency and taught college courses for prospective tour guides. That afternoon, after a morning in which Noah didn’t nap and drank only a couple of ounces of formula, Rueda says she prepared a bottle for him while he lay on a mat. She and Rueda talked about it early on April 20, both of them hunched over Noah in his car seat when Whitmer dropped him off. Whitmer thought this was because Noah had just started eating solid food. Rueda and Noah’s mother, Erin Whitmer, both noticed when he stopped taking his bottle well and napping as usual in the middle of his fifth month, in April 2009. Super tranquilo, remembers Trudy Eliana Muñoz Rueda, who took care of Noah at her home day care center in Fairfax County, Va. At 4 months, Noah Whitmer was an easy baby.
