A Georgia woman has been sentenced to life in prison after being convicted of killing her 20-month-old son and dumping his body in a trash bin. The sentencing hearing took place in Chatham County Superior Court, where the woman was found guilty of malice murder and 18 other charges in the death of her son.
The tragic incident unfolded when the woman called 911 to report her son missing from his indoor playpen at their home outside Savannah. Despite extensive searches by police in the neighborhood, the child was not found. Investigators eventually named the woman as the sole suspect in the case.
