  • Philadelphia foster mother and teacher Carprice Williams has been charged with murder following the discovery of missing 10-year-old Malayshia Allford's body in New Jersey.
  • Allford was last seen alive on October 22, and surveillance video showing a body being removed from a Philadelphia home on October 26 led investigators to the suspect's vehicle.
  • A medical examiner determined Allford died from blunt force trauma and suffered signs of abuse, ruling her death a homicide.
  • Williams originally claimed to police that Allford had failed to return home from school, but now faces charges including child endangerment and tampering with evidence.
  • Williams is being held without bail, while the victim's family and law enforcement continue to urge anyone with additional information to come forward.
