LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- Prosecutors are still working on building a case against a woman accused of killing her 5-year-old son, putting his body in a suitcase and leaving it in the woods in southern Indiana.
Dejaune Anderson appeared before a Louisville judge on Tuesday after Indiana prosecutors dropped the charges against her and moved the case across state lines.
A mushroom hunter found Anderson's son, Cairo Jordan, inside a suitcase in a wooded area of Washington County, Indiana, in April 2022.
Investigators believe Jordan's murder happened in Kentucky. Court records show Anderson posted on social media a month before her son's death, saying she was living with a demonic child.
A not guilty plea was entered for her last month. Tuesday, prosecutors said they're still gathering evidence in the case, and agreed to another hearing in March.
Anderson is being held on a $500,000 bond.
Another woman, Dawn Coleman, pleaded guilty in the case and was sentenced to 30 years.
