CANTON, Miss. (AP) - Bond has been set at $35,000 for a Flora woman charged in the death of her newborn son.
Madison County District Attorney Michael Guest has said authorities believe the newborn boy found last week in a suitcase left in weeds behind a Flora-area church was alive when someone disposed of him.
The Clarion-Ledger reports bond was set Thursday for 41-year-old Shelia Ealey by a justice court judge. A grand jury will hear the case. Ealey has been charged with murder.
The infant was found Friday by a church member clearing weeds around the property. Authorities say the boy was wrapped in a garbage bag and blanket inside the suitcase.
