Megan Boswell, the woman charged in her daughter’s death, 15-month-old Evelyn Boswell, appears in court for a status hearing.

State prosecutors will seek a sentence of life imprisonment. Boswell reported her daughter missing in February 2020 but said she had not been seen since December 2019. In March of 2020, the child’s remains were found buried beneath a shed on a family member’s property.

Boswell was indicted on 19 charges, including two counts of felony murder, and one count of aggravated child abuse and child neglect, abuse of a corpse, failure to report a death under suspicious, unusual or unnatural circumstances and 12 counts of false reporting among other charges.

Boswell’s trial is set for February 2025.
