Oakhurst Woman Found Hurt; Have You Seen Her Jeep?

An Oakhurst woman was found unconscious on the side of the road near Bass Lake Saturday night. The Jeep she was driving still has not been located.

Now, Madera County Sheriff's Detectives are hoping the public can help them figure out what happened.

Detectives say 42-year-old Shanin Path was found lying on the side of Road 222, north of Road 274, shortly after 8:30 p.m. She was rushed to a hospital with severe injuries to her head.

According to the sheriff's office, Path was last seen driving her blue 2004 Jeep Wrangler in Ahwahnee at around 7 p.m. She was supposed to meet with friends for dinner in Oakhurst, but never showed up.

Detectives say Path's Jeep is similar to the one pictured above. The Jeep's California license plate is 5HOU133.

North Fork Father Has Violent Criminal History; Why Did He Have Custody?

A North Fork father is in jail for child neglect- the day after his baby son fell out of a car, head-first.

Marc McMurrain is also facing a battery charge for attacking our news crew.

This caps off a long list of violent convictions and child abuse charges to his name.

A convicted violent felon, court documents show McMurrain has a long rap sheet dating back to 2000 when he was convicted of burglary and served prison time.

In 2002 he was convicted of having meth.

In 2009 he was charged with three counts of felony child abuse.

Last year he was charged with three more counts of felony child abuse and Tuesday, he was arrested for one count of child neglect and battery.

In addition to the baby boy who fell on his head at Bass Lake, court documents show McMurrain has at least two other kids.

KMPH News Crew Attacked By Man Accused Of Child Endangerment At Bass Lake

KMPH News Crew Attacked By Man Accused Of Child Endangerment At Bass Lake

KMPH News Anchor Nicole Garcia and photographer, Matt Romero, were attacked by a man accused of child endangerment while covering a story at Bass Lake Monday.

Now 33-year-old Marc McMurrian is under arrest. He faces child endangerment and misdemeanor battery charges for the attack.

The first time the crew approached the man, they did not know he was involved with the incident, and he denied being involved.

Later, as the crew was shooting video in the parking lot, the man began yelling and using profanity, then approached the camera.

Madera County Sheriff's deputies say it all began early Monday afternoon, when he left his 8 ½ month old boy alone in a van as he carried supplies to a picnic area.

While he was gone, deputies say the baby crawled out a broken window and landed head first on the ground.

A Good Samaritan found him and called 911.

Sheriff: Baby Left In Car Crawls Out Of Window, Hurts Head

A baby boy, who was left unattended inside a car parked at the Pine Slope picnic area near Bass Lake on Monday, is in the hospital after crawling out of a window and hurting his head, the Madera County Sheriff's Department said.

According to preliminary reports, someone happened to be in the area when the eight-and-a-half-month-old boy crawled out of the car window and landed on his head, sheriff's spokeswoman Erica Stuart said.

The good Samaritan ran to the infant's side and called 911.

Stuart says the father -- who left the child alone in the car -- returned to the vehicle when firefighters got there. He has been identified as 33-year-old Marc McMurrian, of North Fork. Deputies were interviewing him Monday afternoon.

The child was flown to an area hospital. He has been placed in the custody of Child Protective Services.
