Detroit police discovered the body of a 9-year-old boy buried in the backyard of a rental home. His mother was arrested days later in Cobb County on drug charges and is being charged with his murder. He was buried behind a garage at a rental home where Pierce lived with him and her other son said to be three years old.
A neighbor who did not want to be identified spoke with a WXYZ reporter and recalled a conversation she had with Pierce in early November. She said something was wrong. It was one month after police said King was murdered. Stand there and walk back. So, maybe something was wrong with her? Sources tell WXYZ that the landlord went to the home to do some maintenance two days before Thanksgiving and found the home vacant. Pierce took her three-year-old son with her to Brookhaven, Georgia, where the boy is now in foster care.
Pierce was arrested in Brookhaven and charged with first-degree cruelty to children on Dec. She was arrested again on Jan. She has been charged in Michigan with first-degree premeditated murder, felony murder, first-degree child abuse, tampering with evidence, and concealing the death of an individual.
The horrors of this child abuse case defy that. Parked Delta plane hit by another aircraft while waiting on tarmac. Ohio AG Dave Yost said he would "swiftly" respond with legal action against Columbus City Schools if its board defies a transgender bathroom law. A chilling twist emerged Friday in the death of Adan Manzano, a year-old TV reporter who traveled to cover the Super Bowl but mysteriously died in a hotel room.
A neighbor witnessed a man fatally shoot Farah Fratta inside her garage, a crime that left three children without a mother. Armed robbers took money at gunpoint from a family with a baby in south suburban Will County on Friday night. The man who shot and killed three UNLV professors kept dozens of dresses for sex workers in his apartment and received a startling text message in the aftermath of the mass shooting, according to the Las Vegas Metro police final report released Friday.
