The woman charged with killing her son and dumping his body in a suitcase in southern Indiana has now been indicted by a Jefferson County, Kentucky grand jury.
The case was originally handled by the Washington County Prosecutor’s Office, but with evidence spanning both Indiana and Kentucky, the case has been handed over to the Jefferson County Kentucky Commonwealth’s Attorney’s Office.
Dejaune Anderson has been indicted by a grand jury on charges of murder, manslaughter, criminal abuse and abuse of a corpse after five-year-old Cairo Jordan’s body was found in a suitcase in a wooded area in Washington County in April 2022.
Anderson was arrested in California almost two years later.
Police believe she killed her son at her Louisville home before she and another woman, Dawn Coleman, placed him in the suitcase and dumped him in Indiana.
There have been several delays in the case since the arrest, including a psychiatric evaluation that determined Anderson is competent to stand trial.
Anderson has filed motions to represent herself at trial and for the US Supreme Court to dismiss the case against her all while claiming that she is not Anderson, but a princess who inherited her body.
Coleman pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit murder in Jordan’s death. In exchange for the plea, she will get a 30-year sentence with five years suspended for a total of 25 years. As part of that plea deal, Coleman will have to testify against Anderson.
