An arrest report has revealed new details about the death of 10-year-old Jayden Spicer in Breathitt County, Kentucky.
The report says Jayden’s mother, Felicia Gross, admitted to giving him a type of sleeping medication, believing it caused a fatal medical emergency.
She told investigators she then took his body to a wooded area on Canoe Road near Joe Little Fork, where it was buried in a plastic tote.
Kentucky State Police says Jayden’s remains were found there on Tuesday and sent to the state Medical Examiner’s Office for an autopsy.
According to the citation, Gross also coached two of Jayden’s siblings about what to say when they were interviewed several days before her confession.
Gross is now charged with manslaughter, abuse of a corpse, tampering with evidence, falsely reporting and witness tampering.
