A mom reported her 8-year-old son missing and suggested he may have run away, then his body was found in a trash bag in the attic, Ohio prosecutors said.
The mom was arrested alongside her girlfriend, 34-year-old Johnna Lowe, who has now pleaded guilty to murder and gross abuse of a corpse charges and was sentenced to life in prison, the office of the Franklin County Prosecuting Attorney announced June 5.
McClatchy News reached out to Lowe’s attorney for comment June 6 but did not immediately receive a response.
The mother, 33-year-old Lashanda Wilder, is also facing charges of murder, endangering children, felonious assault, tampering with evidence and abuse of a corpse following the death of her 8-year-old son, Martonio Wilder, records show.
Lashanda Wilder called police June 28, 2
