Eric Rosenbrook is contesting the official ruling regarding the death of his infant daughter, Alisa. He and his wife, Leida Margaretha, have enlisted the services of a private medical examiner to dispute the findings of the original autopsy, which classified Alisa’s death as “non-accidental.” Rosenbrook asserts that the independent examination suggests significant oversights in the initial autopsy process.
The couple claims their private medical examiner identified that critical procedures were overlooked, leading to an inaccurate assessment of the cause of death. Rosenbrook stated that the report did not adequately determine or clarify the age of a fracture mentioned during the investigation. The family’s expert posits that one injury may have occurred during childbirth, specifically during a C-section performed approximately five weeks before Alisa’s passing.
In addition, Rosenbrook pointed out that a rib fracture noted in the autopsy report might have resulted from resuscitation efforts, emphasizing that ribs can easily sustain damage during such attempts. His statements reflect a deep frustration with the ongoing investigation and the conclusions drawn by local authorities.
Rosenbrook and Margaretha have engaged in a contentious dialogue with the Adams County Health and Human Services Department over the evaluation of Alisa’s death. He claims that the sheriff’s department has not found Margaretha at fault, despite the department’s assessment. Furthermore, he alleges that they provided additional information to authorities months ago, which he believes was disregarded.
Rosenbrook did not hold back when discussing the role of Child Protective Services (CPS), describing the agency as “the definition of fascism” and criticizing its approach to parenting. He expressed deep concern regarding the way CPS operates, stating, “As far as CPS goes, they’re a hammer and every parent is a nail.”
As of now, no criminal charges have been filed in connection with Alisa’s death, and the investigation remains open. Margaretha has previously denied any involvement in wrongdoing related to her daughter’s passing, which occurred shortly after the infant was taken off life support in July 2025.
When asked about the possibility of having another child, Rosenbrook indicated that the couple has not yet made a decision on that front. Their situation continues to unfold as they seek justice for their family’s loss while navigating significant emotional and legal challenges.
