Darla Miles has the story.Disturbing details continue to emerge surrounding the death of a toddler in New Jersey who was missing for three years.Matthew Chiles III, 29, is charged with first-degree murder, desecration of human remains, and two counts of child endangerment.
Responding officers said Durham obstructed their visit and told them she had given up custody to a paternal aunt in North Carolina. The son told investigators he later saw the girl motionless on a bed, before Chiles left the house in the middle of the night and returned without the girl. "He would say that she's adopted, but Monique would get mad at me," the mother said. "She just had a nasty attitude because I asked her where was she. She was very upset, and I don't know why."
