The 22-year-old mother of a toddler reported missing last month in Georgia has been arrested after human remains were found in a landfill.
Police Chief Jeff Hadley, at a news conference later Monday, said Simon has been the sole suspect since the child was first reported missing.
During the search, officers combed through 1.2 million pounds of trash over a 30-day period, and police added that the FBI says landfill searches are only successful 5 percent of the time. Hadley said Simon was transported to the Chatham County Detention Center where she will await a bond hearing. Simon had no listed phone number and it was not known Monday if she had a lawyer who could speak on her behalf. Court records showed she represented herself in two civil cases filed since March involving custody of her children and child support.
