A Georgia woman has been arrested after police found the remains of a 4 year old girl, thought to be the woman’s daughter in the trunk of her car.
Matters came to the fore after Jessica Maria Motes of Hall County was seen by her father on Sunday driving into a shopping center parking lot in Oakwood, and that she allegedly told him she ‘Hurt (redacted name)’ and ‘I think she is dead.’
The father then reportedly spoke to police, who then found the child’s remains in Motes’ Nissan sedan, 11 Alive reported.

Motes, 36, who was booked into jail, Sunday night, was booked on a charge of felony concealing a death charge in connection with the death of the child. The cause of the 4 year old’s death had yet to be revealed.
The child’s body was sent for an autopsy to help determine the cause of death. It remained unclear if Motes faced the potential for upgraded charges.
Officials had yet to publicly reveal the relationship between Motes and the deceased child.
Nevertheless a post shared on social media appeared to indicate that Motes was indeed the parent of the deceased child and that the child had been dead for a number of days.
