Child-minder Keran Henderson was looking after baby Maeve Sheppard in March 2005 when something went horribly wrong.
She has since been convicted of violently shaking the 11-month-old toddler to death.
That day she rang 999 and said: "I've got a baby - I can't get breaths into her. She's just taking little breaths but not much, she's like semi-unconscious at the moment...
"Oh God, this is horrible. Come on Maeve, darling, please.. She's absolutely comatose."
Two days later Maeve was dead and Keran is serving a three year sentence for manslaughter.
She denies ever harming the child.
The case has brought heartbreak to two families. The Sheppards have lost a much-loved child.
Mark Sheppard told BBC's Panorama: "In 18 months time she goes home to a loving husband and two loving children - I will never have Maeve back."
But Iain Henderson, of Iver, Buckinghamshire, who resigned from the police after his wife was charged, is now bringing up his two sons while their mother is in prison.
