The mother of a Pennsylvania deceased baby was arrested after police discovered his remains inside a bedroom wall amid a welfare check Thursday.
Kylie Wilt, 25, and Alan Hollis, 27, admitted that her 6-month baby had died at another home and was then wrapped in blankets and left in a crate.
After the parents moved into a new residence, the baby’s remains were hidden inside a wall inside the bedroom.
“We found the child was placed in a wall, inside a wall and was drywalled over from statements made by the mom,” Washington County District Attorney Jason Walsh said.
“There was discoloration, different color paint, obviously looked like drywall cut out, and a section was replaced in the bedroom.”
Wilt claimed that her baby died suddenly from infant death syndrome last February and that she couldn’t afford his funeral costs.
“I’m sick. It’s a horrible feeling. I used to hear the baby crying all the time and all of a sudden, I didn’t one day and didn’t see them bringing him in and out, and didn’t figure this is what happened,” a neighbor said.
