Happy First Friday of Summer Goode People!
A mom who reported her 4-year-old daughter missing actually kept her dead body in garbage bags for weeks.
4-year-old Sequoia Samuels was found dead in bags on June 15, 2023 in Memphis, Tennessee. Sequoia's mother identified as Britteny Jackson, 24, was arrested. Jaylon Hobson, 21, was also arrested, Jaylon is Britteny's boyfriend.
Local and state authorities conducted a day-long search for Sequoia, who had a feeding tube inserted in her side for an unspecified medical condition, before announcing that a body had been found near Jackson’s apartment.
In arrest affidavits later released, Jackson told police she had given a false statement when she told officers she had found Sequoia’s room empty and the front door of the apartment ajar.
She told police her boyfriend, who lived at the home with Jackson and her children, had “physically attacked” Sequoia “multiple times” weeks before Jackson reported her missing
Jackson told police Sequoia became unresponsive after the last attack, and Hobson tried to revive her, but the 4-year-old died. Police said Hobson put Sequoia’s body in trash bags that the couple then stored in their apartment.
Jackson maintained the corpse for several weeks, police said. The bags were then dumped in a garbage container and moved to the East side of the apartment with other garbage cans.
Jackson was charged with false offense report, aggravated child abuse and abuse of a corpse, while Hobson was charged with false offense report on June 16 after telling police he had seen Sequoia on June 11, which police said was impossible given the degree of composition of the child’s body.
New details continue to come to light in the death of four-year-old Sequoia Samuels, as it was revealed in a DCS petition that could have prevented her death was denied by the Shelby County Juvenile Court.
