OGDEN -- Alexis Rasmussen died of a drug overdose late Sept. 10 or early Sept. 11 in the home of Eric and Dea Millerberg where she was baby-sitting.

After a four-month investigation, Eric Millerberg was charged Tuesday with child abuse homicide and three other felonies in the death of the North Ogden teen.

Dale and Julie Anderson, of North Ogden, hold a photo of their granddaughter, Aubree Jo Anderson, who died Feb. 23 in an accident caused by her mother, who was driving under the influence of drugs. The Andersons are pushing for the passage of a bill they believe will change the way child custody is awarded in Utah by making the best interests of the child the main consideration. Their son and Aubree Jo’s father, Jared Anderson, fought for sole custody of his daughter months before the accident that killed her, but was denied in favor of the girl’s mother.
