Sgt. Gary Conner says Cincinnati police arrested 26-year-old Marquita Burch of Covington, Ky., on Saturday after she reported toddler William Cunningham missing Friday in Covington and then recanted her story. The child's body was found in a closet of the Cincinnati apartment. Police don't know how he died.
Burch is in jail in Cincinnati. Jail records list no attorney for her.
