Evelyn Boswell, 15-months-old, remains were found in a trash bag. The trash bag was found with a foot poking out of it. The body was found upside down with tin foil in her mouth. Allegedly her mom is to blame, it is believed that Evelyn was buried alive.
Evelyn was last seen on December 19, 2019, she wasn’t reported missing until February 2020. They searched for Evelyn for 16 days in 2020 before they finally found her remains on the family’s property in Tennessee. Evelyn’s mother, Megan Boswell, is being charged with murder. She originally told police that Evelyn was missing before finally saying she died in her sleep.
On Friday, forensic pathologist Dr. Darinka Mileusnic-Polchan testified in court that the toddler died in 2020 after being suffocated by a blanket and aluminum foil.
“The disposal of this child was remarkable,” Mileusnic-Polchan told the court, adding that Evelyn was alive when she was put into the can.
The doctor noted that Evelyn’s body was “sort of compressed” in the trash can and was found in an “accordion-like position.”
Mileusnic-Polchan also revealed that there was a “mechanical obstruction” in Evelyn’s airway, detailing that it was made of foil.
It was Brian Fraley, Tennessee Bureau of Investigation special agent, who saw the foot sticking out of the trash can.
“It was my belief (the trash can was) placed there recently,” Fraley said, according to Crime Online.
“I observed a leg (with) a foot attached … on top of the trash. It was consistent with an infant of the described age of the missing victim.”
Megan Boswell is being charged with “two counts of felony murder and one count of aggravated child abuse, aggravated child neglect, tampering with evidence, abusing a corpse, as well as multiple counts of false reporting to police.”
Megan claims that Evelyn died in a co-sleeping incident and maintains her innocence. Her trial will be in February 2023.
