Overview

  • A judge set bond at $2 million for 28-year-old Aliyah Henderson during her first court appearance on two aggravated murder charges.
  • The Cuyahoga County Medical Examiner identified the victims as 10-year-old Amor Wilson and 8-year-old Mila Chatman using DNA relationship testing.
  • A dog walker’s 911 call led police to two shallow graves containing suitcases in a field near Ginn Academy and Saranac Playground.
  • Detectives executed a search warrant at a nearby home, detained Henderson on Wednesday, and placed a third child from the residence into child-welfare custody.
  • Officials said the girls’ remains were badly decomposed, the cause and timing of death are pending, and mourners have created a growing memorial at the playground.
