A California mom allegedly murdered her two-year-old son and tried to make his death look like an accidental drowning. Melissa Lynn Beisel, 41, faces a maximum sentence of 25 years to life if convicted after she was arrested in connection with the death of her son on June 4, according to the Orange County District Attorney’s Office. Police responded to Beisel’s home in Placentia to find her in the shower “with the water running with the body of her two-year-old son, Aidan,” on September 22, 2025, prosecutors said.
