Sheriff: Woman pointed to body



The suspect is charged withmurder, kidnapping, felonious assault and child endangerment.
BATAVIA, Ohio (AP) -- A woman who lived with a couple accused of leaving their 3-year-old foster son bound in a closet, where he died, led authorities to where the child's body was burned then tossed into a river, a deputy sheriff testified Friday.
Amy Baker took officers to a site in rural Brown County, where she said the burning took place, and to a bridge, where she said the foster father threw the remains into the Ohio River, Hamilton County sheriff's Detective Randy Fore said during the second day of testimony in the trial of Liz Carroll.
Carroll faces a murder charge because prosecutors say she caused Marcus Fiesel's death, though unintentional, by leaving him in the closet in her home east of Cincinnati while she attended a weekend family reunion in Kentucky with her husband and Baker.
"She showed us what happened to Marcus Fiesel and told us how it happened," Fore said of Baker, who took authorities to the sites after she and Liz Carroll testified before a grand jury Aug. 28.
Defense attorney Gregory Cohen attempted to undercut Fore's testimony about Baker, who prosecutors say helped dispose of the boy's body.
Prosecutors objected, and Clermont County Common Pleas Judge Robert Ringland told the jury to disregard the question. Baker has not been charged in the case.
Full charges
Carroll also is charged with involuntary manslaughter, kidnapping, felonious assault and three counts of child endangerment. Her husband, David Carroll Jr., 29, is to be tried in March on the same charges as his wife, as well as gross abuse of a corpse.
The Carrolls have pleaded not guilty to all charges and are being held on 10 million bond each.
