On Jan. 7, Shasta County sheriff's deputies carried out a welfare check on a 2-year-old child at a home on Sunset Lane in Redding.
Investigators also learned that the child had been 'unlawfully buried,' and another child was found in the home and placed into protective custody.
Major crimes unit investigators learned that the missing child died in October 2023 allegedly after being physically abused and was buried near the Whiskeytown National Recreation Area.
The girl's body was found and exhumed on Jan. 8, 2024. An autopsy concluded that the girl was the victim of homicide.
