The mother of 20-month-old Quinton Simon has been arrested in connection to his disappearance and death, Chatham County Police said.
Quinton’s mother, Leilani Simon, has been the sole suspect in this case, said Chatham County Police Chief Jeffrey Hadley in a news conference. She was arrested Monday and is being held on charges of malice murder, concealing a death, and false reporting/making false statements. The remains have been sent to the FBI lab in Quantico, Virginia, to confirm they are Quinton’s, Hadley said. “This is a heartbreaking development for everyone who loved Quinton.
When we first received the call that Quinton was missing we were hopeful that we would find him alive and unharmed, but as we have been telling you for weeks, all of our evidence pointed to his mother being responsible for his death and disappearance and his remains being found in the landfill,” he added. “She doesn’t deserve a Thanksgiving, quite frankly if I can go off script a little bit. Quinton deserves that,” Hadley said, speaking of the arrest while holding back tears.
