Police arrested a 32-year-old mother on suspicion of murder after her 9-year-old daughter was found dead in their Westminster home Friday afternoon.

Authorities responded just after 12 p.m. Friday, Nov. 24 to conduct a welfare check after receiving a call from a concerned family member.

When Westminster Police forced entry inside the home, officials said they found the young girl's body with obvious signs of trauma.

Officials tracked down the girl's mother, Khadiyjah Aliyyah Ali Pendergraph, at an Aliso Viejo shopping center and arrested her.

Pendergraph was booked for murder at the Orange County Jail, according to officials.

Authorities did not provide any further information at this time.

Kill a daughter, go shopping.

Now that's cold!

On the plus side, she can't be bothered to destroy evidence, so there's at least a chance at some semblance of justice.

California... Misdemeanor?

Khadiyjah Aliyyah Pendergraph, 32, was charged with one felony count of murder Tuesday after she was arrested last week at a grocery store parking lot in Aliso Viejo.

According to the Orange County District Attorney's Office, the girl's father called police Friday, saying his daughter, 9-year-old Victoria, was missing.

He also requested a welfare check on the girl and Pendergraph after receiving "concerning messages from his ex-wife regarding their daughter," the DA's office said.

"When he attempted to pick their daughter up as scheduled on Thanksgiving, the apartment door was locked and no one answered the door," read a press release from the DA's office.

Authorities said Victoria used a wheelchair and could not speak. They said Pendergraph left the child in the bathtub for several days while the mother "claims she attempted to commit suicide on more than one occasion."

The officers who responded to the home forced their way into the residence and found the dead child alone with obvious signs of trauma, according to Sgt. Edward Esqueda.
