The mother of a boy who was found dead repeatedly lied to police and stabbed her son over 16 times, according to court documents.
Janet Garcia, 27, is charged with first-degree and second-degree murder, as well as assault of a child.Police say Garcia used a sharp force object to kill her son, Ariel, and attempted to flee south.Court documents state that police were initially called to an apartment that Janet and Ariel had been staying at, where the homeowners noticed a large amount of blood on the floor.
Janet also told police that she tried checking Ariel into two hospitals, but later left him at a friend's house, though she couldn't remember the house, court docs say.Police said they noticed what appeared to be blood on Janet's clothes, including spots on the back of her shirt and small droplet marks on her shoes.The FBI used Janet's phone to track her movements, which led them to an area south of I-5 and north of 47th Avenue SW near Joint Base Lewis-McChord.
