Russia Blacklist
#890, Peggy Sue Hilt
Hilt, 34, had pleaded guilty to second-degree murder in the death last year of her 2-year-old daughter, Nina, from a beating in their Wake Forest home. Nina died in Manassas, Va., about 36 hours after the beating.
“This child did not die from a single blow. Her injuries were the result of a course of conduct over an extended period of time,” Hamblen said, calling Hilt’s actions “completely inexplicable.”
Russian nationalists often accuse foreigners of “buying” Russian children, some 260,000 of whom live in orphanages and similar facilities, and cases of abuse by foreign adoptive parents are widely reported in the Russian media.
The Hilts did not use an agency when they adopted Nataliya in the Ukrainian capital of Kiev in 2001, but they employed a Dallas-based agency, Adoptions International Inc., in 2004 to help adopt Nina in the Siberian city of Irkutsk.
Peggy Hilt lived in Fairfax VA, Centreville VA and Wake Forest NC.
Why is it I get a sinking feeling every time I see the word Virgina?
