The mother of a baby who was found dead in a wooded area in Georgia has been charged in the two-week-old baby’s death.
The child, Caliyah McNabb, was reported missing in October in Newton County, Georgia. She was later found dead in a bag near the home, and her father, Christopher McNabb, was charged in her death.
Bell was arrested in the parking lot of a Home Depot in Conyers, Georgia, and when she was taken into custody, police charged her with second-degree murder, deprivation of a minor, and cruelty to children, according to the report.
“Her blanket is gone. Her pacifier is on the floor. Her blanket is not with us,” said Bell.
Bell then said she fell asleep on a couch in her home, and that she saw the child five hours before she called the authorities.
McNabb, 27, has remained in a jail in Newton without bond since his arrest in October.
He was charged with malice murder, felony murder, second-degree murder, aggravated battery, and concealing the death of another.
