FLINT, Mich. – Prosecutors on Thursday were deciding whether to charge the adoptive mother of a 9-year-old quadriplegic girl whose body was found in a storage unit — a child the woman had allegedly insisted was out of state when authorities first questioned her.
Charges could range from felony murder to lesser charges such as misdemeanor moving a corpse. The woman was arrested Wednesday after police found Shylea Myza Thomas’ body in a black trash bag, stuffed into a plastic bin with mothballs and locked in a storage unit near Flint.
