LOCK HAVEN, Pa. — The aunt of a 9-year-old boy who was found dead in a home on Monday is now facing murder charges.
Lock Haven police charged Jamie Lynne Jackson with the death of Anson Landon Mitchell Stover.
Police say on Monday, they responded to a home along East Bald Eagle Street in Lock Haven to investigate after a family member called the cops saying Jackson was frantic and shampooing rugs and cleaning the boy's room.
Jackson allegedly told police he had hurt himself days ago and she found him seriously injured in his room.
She placed him in a bathtub for up to 48-hours while she cleaned the house.
Jackson said she assumed he died in the tub because he didn't move from it.
An autopsy found serious injuries from extensive physical abuse.
Jackson has custody of the child along with three of his siblings and other children as well.
She is locked up in Clinton County.
