Girl found decaying in closet was put into a stroller and abandoned, police say

The last time Alondra Denise Hobbs saw her daughter alive, she put the 7-year-old into a stroller, pushed her into a closet and left without any intention of returning, according to an arrest warrant released Monday.

As many as four months passed before anyone found Alivia Hobbs-Jordan, and by then it was far too late. What remained of the child’s body was in such a state that the DeKalb County police officer who found the girl assumed she was between 2 and 4 years old.

Investigators have accused the 27-year-old mother of abandoning her child inside an apartment in the Hidden Valley complex south of Decatur sometime between Feb. 28 and June 25, when the girl’s decaying body was discovered.
