The #GoFundMe page continues:

On December 23rd, 2025, Mr. Stoner received a call from #LawEnforcement asking if he was ready to travel.

Madeline Daly had been located in #NewMexico.

Mr. Stoner sat by the phone waiting for the news he had been hoping to hear for months: that his son was safe and he would be able to celebrate Christmas with him.

Instead of being able to spend Christmas with his son, Jake heard the words that will haunt him forever.

Madeline Daly had barricaded herself at an RV Park in New Mexico.

Instead of turning her son over to law enforcement and being peacefully #arrested, she shot Basil and #killed him.

Stoner believes that if laws are changed to allow for #AmberAlerts to be issued with less #stringent standards, his son would be alive and safe today.

A #woman was #convicted in a #NewMexico #courtroom this week for #kidnapping and #killing her infant son in order to deprive his father of custody.

The case adds to the growing number of highly disturbing stories of moms killing their #children.

In recent weeks, LifeSiteNews has reported on Lindsay Clancy and Kailey Erhart, both of whom brutally killed their young children, including infants.

Madeline Daly, 36, said she shot 11-month-old Basil in the face after being pursued by #LawEnforcement from #Wyoming to New Mexico, where she was eventually found hiding with the child in an RV in a rural area.

Daly #pleaded #guilty to #first-degree #murder in the December 2025 killing of her son.

She faces life in #prison, the maximum #penalty for first-degree murder in New Mexico, according to a statement from #DistrictAttorney Norman R. Wheeler.

“Basil Stoner was born on January 8th, 2025.

His father, Jake Stoner, was previously in a #relationship with Daly.

When the parties split in July of 2024, Madeline Daly went on the run and tried to keep the location of where she was and where the baby was going to be born a secret,” recounts a narrative supplied on a #GoFundMe page established to help the bereaved dad change #Amber Alert laws to make them more effective.
