ANDERSON, Ind. (AP): The sister of Gary woman accused of killing a newborn's mother and then trying to pass off the infant as her own says the charges against her sibling are “a hard pill to swallow.''
April Jones says there must be a “missing piece'' in authorities' account of what allegedly happened because the story is so bizarre.
Jones attended Monday's arraignment of her 36-year-old sister, Geraldine R. Jones, who's charged with murder, kidnapping and criminal confinement. She allegedly posed as a child welfare worker and lured 23-year-old Samantha Fleming of Anderson to Lake County under the pretense that Fleming had a court hearing.
Authorities say Fleming's body was found in a Gary home April 17. Her infant daughter was found in the care of Jones' older sister.
