little boy's mother, Dejaune Anderson, is still on the run.
WASHINGTON COUNTY, Ind. — One woman wanted in the case of a 5-year-old boy found dead in a suitcase is now in custody in southern Indiana. Dawn Coleman, 40, was arrested last month in San Francisco for her involvement in Cairo Jordan's death. He was found dead from an electrolyte imbalance in April but wasn’t identified until late October.
The Washington County Sheriff's Office said Coleman was transferred to their facility and booked early Sunday morning at 1:25 a.m.
She is charged with neglect of a dependent resulting in death and obstruction of justice.
The little boy's mother, Dejaune Anderson, is still on the run.
She is facing the same charges as Coleman as well as a charge of murder.
A probable cause affidavit says both women were identified by fingerprints on trash bags that were inside the suitcase.
Police said they saw photos of that same type of suitcase on Coleman's Facebook page.
