A mother who has been wanted by Indiana police since after her 5-year-old son’s body was found inside a suitcase in 2022 was found and arrested last week in Los Angeles, authorities say. Dejaune Ludie Anderson, 38, is accused of killing her son, Cairo Ammar Jordan, whose remains were found inside a hard-shell suitcase in rural Washington County, Indiana, in April 2022, according to state police. An arrest warrant was issued for Anderson in October 2022 for the charges of murder, neglect of a dependent resulting in death, and obstruction of justice, Indiana State Police said. But the mother avoided arrest for more than a year. Last week, a detective received information from a “concerned citizen” that led authorities to find and arrest Anderson in Arcadia, California – a suburb of Los Angeles – as she was trying to board a train on March 14, police said in a news release. Anderson is being held without bail, Los Angeles County jail records show. CNN is working to identify her attorney. The suitcase containing Cairo’s body had a “distinctive Las Vegas design on its front and back” and was found by a man foraging for mushrooms in a heavily wooded area, police said at the time.
