CINCINNATI — A South Fairmount woman hid the body of her two-year-old granddaughter in a cooler, according to police. The circumstances of the girl’s death have not been disclosed.
LaTonya Austin, 42, stands charged with gross abuse of a corpse. Court documents based on police testimony claim she “placed the deceased body of her granddaughter…into multiple trash bags, then placed the bags into a cooler” on April 9, 2021.
Austin wouldn’t be arrested until May 9. She is being held at the Hamilton County Justice Center.
During a Tuesday morning hearing, a judge set Austin's bond at $500,000.
