A Louisiana woman has been arrested in connection with the death of 15 year old Quawan “Bobby” Charles, according to the Iberia Parish Sheriff’s Office.
Janet, 37, was arrested on Tuesday on charges of contributing to the delinquency of a juvenile and failing to report a missing child, local station KATC 3 reported. She was being held in the Iberia Parish jail, and bond had not been set at the time of the report.
Quawan was reported missing in Baldwin, in St. Mary Parish, on October 30 of last year. His mother reported him missing to the Iberia Parish Sheriff’s Office on November 3, and his body was found later that day in a drainage ditch in a sugar cane field. An autopsy found that he died by drowning.
In a press release, the sheriff’s office said its investigators interviewed numerous people and collected forensic evidence, and that along with the completed autopsy report, this led them to determine that an arrest was warranted.
Quawan’s family has said he was left with Janet when he went missing. They have believed from the start that he was murdered and had been frustrated that no arrest had been made. A response from Janet was not included in the reports. An arrest is not a conviction.
