Overview

• Kourtney Malinda Eutsey, 31, was arrested and charged with criminal homicide and related offenses and is being held without bond, authorities said.
• State police recovered the body of 9-year-old Renesmay Eutsey near Smithton after Eutsey directed investigators to the riverbank location.
• A police affidavit says Eutsey reported the child missing hours after she was last seen, an electronic device pinged at the home that morning, and she later described an untreated burn, vomiting and choking, and not calling 911.
• Other children in the household told investigators they witnessed abuse, described the child being placed in a bag and a tote, and have since been removed by child welfare officials.
• The district attorney said the child appeared malnourished with bruises and possible cigarette burns; partner and court-ordered custodian Sarah Shipley had not been charged as of the latest reports, further charges are anticipated, and the autopsy is pending.
