New court filings show that Glover was arguing with her roommate about getting medical attention for her daughter before her death.

Investigators said the argument was over Glover decision to take her daughter off of her insulin medication.

The roommate said that the 14-year-old was ill, vomiting, not eating and feeling weak.


She also said she had a hard time drinking water.

She told deputies when she confronted Glover, saying they needed to get medical care for the teen, the mother refused.

That’s when the roommate says Glover grabbed the girl’s hair and held her underwater in the bathtub.
