Aaliyah N Jack
Aaliyah Jack, the Lake Charles mother who abandoned her four-year-old son who was found dead behind a Welcome Center in Vinton Monday and her infant son found crawling from a ditch along I-10 Tuesday, has also been charged with second-degree murder and cruelty to a juvenile. Calcasieu Parish Sheriff Stitch Guillory said after she was located in Mississippi,
“We thought we were gonna have to go through an extradition hearing, but apparently she had a change of heart, and she has agreed to be extradited and signed her papers, so we’ve just got to make arrangements to get her back here into Calcasieu.”
Guillory said the case moved swiftly when they found the elder child in the water and sent out a release asking local media to help them identify the child. He said it was then the paternal grandmother of the children who called from Texas fearing who it was, and she also told them about the infant.
“This is the perfect example of how law enforcement and news media can work together to get out information because who had no clue who this kid was.”
Guillory was limited to what he could say about the case, he said Calcasieu Parish detectives went to Meridian, Mississippi to question Jack about the case, but she asked for an attorney and the interview ended.
He did say it was a miracle the infant was found alive after surviving the outer bands of Hurricane Beryl and on his own for two days. He said it’s been an emotional week and case.
“This is one of those cases that you never forget.”
24-year-old Jack’s bond is set at $9.1 million, and she’s also charged with failure to report a missing child.
