On December 1, 1991, three-month-old baby Kristie Fischer died in a house fire in Thornwood, New York.[1] Fischer's family accused their au pair, a Swiss woman named Olivia Riner, of killing the baby by arson. They stated that she had not attempted to rescue the baby, and therefore they believed she was guilty.[1] Riner originated from Wettingen and was a babysitter for a Swiss family for three years. She worked as a pediatrician's assistant before being hired for a one-year term to care for the Fischer family, through the company EF Au Pair.[2]
Alex Prud'homme of People wrote that "the case turned into an international cause célèbre", partly because it almost coincided with the release of the film The Hand That Rocks the Cradle and partly due to the gravity of the crime.[2] Richard Lorant of the Associated Press wrote that the case was compared to the film and that it "frightened working mothers everywhere."[3] William Glaberson of The New York Times wrote that the case "crystallized the concerns and worries parents have about leaving their children in other people's care".[4]
