A North Carolina mother has been charged with concealing the death of her 3-month old baby, who was found dead in a suitcase in her home.
Roanoke Rapids police found the baby, wrapped in a blanket inside the suitcase, when they conducted a well-being check on the child Wednesday morning.
The suitcase was tucked into a closet, according to WITN.
Synkel Davis, 34, was jailed on a $15,000 bond and has a first appearance in court on Friday.
