A young girl once thought to be missing has been found dead in a closet inside her mother’s Colorado apartment. The disgraced woman could now face charges of murder. Alexus Tanielle Nelson, 27, of Aurora reportedly sent alarming text messages to her mother, Georgia, that prompted the woman to contact police about her granddaughter.
Nelson allegedly lied to police about the location of her daughter, saying she had put her up for adoption. When her story didn’t check out, police executed a search warrant of the mother’s home, where they reportedly found a young child’s remains. The case affected Aurora Police Chief Art Acevedo, who emotionally addressed the media June 1 to announce Nelson’s arrest.
