Mother, boyfriend charged in 4-year-old girl's death
Police have charged the mother of a dead 4-year-old girl and her boyfriend with murder and felony child neglect, a police spokesman said.
Police found Tamera Wooden dead about 4:15 p.m. Sunday inside her mother's home in the 300 block of East Little Creek Road, said Officer Chris Amos. The search began after the girl's mother called police about 3 p.m. to report her daughter missing, Amos said.
Amos identified the suspects as Jathiya Wooden, 26, and Troy Allen Edwards, 29, both of the 300 block of East Little Creek. Edwards is not the child's father, Amos said.
Both suspects are in the Norfolk City Jail. Amos said he could not release any more details, including the cause of death.
Investigators went to the medical examiner's office this morning to follow the child's autopsy.
Police initially characterized the girl's death "undetermined" but have now classified it as a homicide, Amos said.
I am willing to bet that the boyfriend will be charge with more server charges then the mother. I bet all the blame will be place on the Boyfriend.
