According to the Baltimore Sun newspaper, she had placed her niece's body in her trunk as early as May 2020, locking it in a suitcase, and continued to use her vehicle normally.
A year later, she had added the corpse of the little boy, in a plastic bag this time.
On Wednesday evening, the police arrested her because she was driving too fast and did not have proper papers.
To the agent who informed her that her car was going to be impounded, she replied: "I don't care, I won't be here in five days", "I'm going to make my front page debut. !
