Ohio woman charged in son's death after buried remains found

CLEVELAND (AP) — A woman has been charged with murder in the death of her 5-year-old son after authorities found the apparent remains of a child in the backyard of her Cleveland home.

Thirty-four-year-old Larissa Rodriguez was charged today in Cleveland.

The Cuyahoga County Medical Examiner's Office hasn't yet identified the remains found Tuesday as those of Rodriguez's developmentally disabled son, Jordan, and hasn't said how he died.

Police went to the home Monday after receiving a tip from a relative living in Pakistan the boy was buried in the yard.

Police say Rodriguez, a mother of nine, told officers the boy went to Texas with an aunt in early December. A court document says Jordan died on Sept. 22.
