The Ada County Coroner’s Office on Wednesday named Alliee Rose, 4, as the victim, and Boise police detailed criminal charges against the girl’s parents.
Jennifer Miller, 31, of Boise, has been charged with injury to a child, and could be sentenced to 10 years in prison if convicted.
A Boise Police Department statement states the charge is unrelated to Alliee’s death.
Instead, investigators allege the little girl’s brother had been left alone in the presence of illicit narcotics.
The girl’s father, 26-year-old Nicolas Rose, was also arrested for felony burglary and misdemeanor theft after detectives allege they discovered the heater that ignited the lethal blaze had been stolen from a local business.
Fire crews were called to the parking lot of a Walmart in Meridian, Idaho, back on April 10, arriving to find the vehicle fully engulfed in flames.

Later, investigators found Alliee’s burned remains.
Another child also sustained serious injuries in the fire, but is expected to live.
Miller, Alliee, and Miller’s son were sleeping in the car with the space heater on when the fire began.
