Waco news, Texas news.

A Texas mother was taken into custody and charged with her 2-year-old son’s murder after officers found his young body discarded in multiple trash bags in a nearby dumpster in Waco.

On Monday, Laura Sanchez called 911 to report Frankie’s disappearance and an Amber Alert has been issued for him. The next day, Sanchez told a relative that she has killed the child and tossed his body alongside a church. She has been arrested without bond and is currently facing first-degree felony injury to a child charge.

Frankie’s cause and manner of death have not yet been specified. Meanwhile, authorities are suspecting foul play in his murder: “Frankie did not die of natural causes,” according to officials.
