A wanted Oregon mother was arrested Tuesday in Seaside three weeks after she vanished following her toddler daughter’s fentanyl-related death.
Mary Elizabeth Jacobo, 26, allegedly tried to resuscitate her 2-year-old daughter Aurora Fernandez during the Sept. 12 tragic incident before fleeing the home, asking a friend to call 911.
The girl died later that day. Jacobo’s relatives told cops she fled because she had outstanding arrest warrants.
The family also told detectives that little Aurora, who tested positive for fentanyl and methamphetamine at birth, had been mostly living with her father.
Jacobo had been in and out of jail or on probation throughout the toddler's life.
Even after her child’s death, she allegedly carried out a carjacking and other violent crimes, police said.
