Amid a search for a missing 5-year-old, a woman was arrested this week after the remains of a child were found in her Aurora apartment, police announced Thursday afternoon. Police have not identified the remains.
According to the Aurora Police Department , around 12:30 p.m. Tuesday, a person from out of state called to report that their daughter, Alexus Tanielle Nelson, 27, had"made concerning statements to them by text." The caller was worried about their granddaughter, Nelson's daughter.
Maha Li Hobbs, 5, was reported missing from the Aurora area and was said to likely be with her mother, Nelson, on Tuesday. An investigation began that evening. Nelson was identified as Maha's primary caretaker and mother, according to the Colorado Bureau of Investigation. An endangered missing alert was issued for Maha around 1:30 p.m. on Wednesday and it was deactivated around noon Thursday.
She was arrested on Tuesday on a charge of attempting to influence a public servant after investigators couldn't confirm her claim about her daughter's adoption.
