Police Find 10YO Boy's Body In Trunk Of His Mother’s Car; She Says She Tried To Cut Out Boy's Tongue

[Sugar Cookie]

A Louisville mother has been arrested after the body of her 10-year-old son was found in the trunk of her vehicle.

According to an arrest report, officers were called to a home, shortly before 8:45 p.m. Tuesday. Police say that's where someone reported seeing a woman on the porch of the home with a gun, and a dead boy wrapped in a blanket.

When officers arrived, they found blood on the porch steps, according to the arrest report. Police say they then assumed an emergency existed, and opened the trunk of a vehicle belonging to a resident of the home, 28-year-old Kaitlyn Higgins.

Inside the trunk, police say they found the body of Higgins' 10-year-old son. He had sustained a gunshot wound.

When confronted by police, Higgins allegedly told them that she had tried to cut the boy's tongue out before shooting him to death and putting him in the trunk of her car.

Police arrested Higgins and charged her with murder and tampering with physical evidence.

At a glance, the collection of stuffed animals on the porch of a home on Algonquin Parkway looks innocent; plush teddy bears and tigers are usually symbols of joy.

A closer look at the collection shows just how horrific the scene is: It’s the place where 10-year-old Kyon Higgins Jr., known as KJ, was shot, killed, and dumped in the trunk of a car.

Thursday, Higgins’ mother, the woman accused of his murder, appeared before a judge for the first time.

“So, I don’t even know where my child is buried or anything,” Kaitlyn Higgins said while in court.

Louisville Metro Police Department officers were called to the Higgins home after someone called 911 to say a woman had a gun and was carrying the dead body of a boy in a blanket to her car.

Kaitlyn Higgins was found sitting on the front porch and there was blood on the steps. Police said they found the boy’s body when they searched the trunk of the car.

A judge on Thursday agreed to a request by prosecutors to increase Kaitlyn Higgins’ bond from $250,000 to $500,000.

Pam Darnall is the CEO of the Family and Children’s Place, an organization dedicated to preventing child abuse and stopping it when it happens. She told Wave 3 News child abuse situations are 100% preventable.

“It is really incredibly important that we help new parents understand and learn, with their own their strengths, how to make sure their babies are raised safely,” Darnall said.

Grace Akers agreed. Akers is the CEO of St. Joseph Children’s Home, an organization that cares for children who’ve been victims of trauma and help them get the care they need.

Akers told WAVE 3 News the responsibility falls on every adult to identify child abuse and report it

“Don’t ignore the signs of maltreatment with that child, and don’t ignore the dynamics that you see,” Akers said.

All that is left to see at KJ Higgins’ home are reminders, one of which is a candle still burning in memory of a child whose light was put out too soon.

I love the way the dumb bitch can be so cruel to her child, then try to garner sympathy by acting like she gives a fuck. She deserves nothing but pain and suffering every single day for the rest of her (hopefully short) life.

An attorney is requesting a mental health evaluation for a Kentucky mother charged with murder in the death of her 10-year-old son whose body was found in the trunk of her car last month.

The attorney for Kaitlyn R. Higgins, 28, asked a judge to order a mental health evaluation to determine whether the defendant was competent to stand trial. Jefferson Circuit Judge Mitch Perry is set to consider the motion next week, according to court records.

Louisville police were sent to Higgins' home in late April after a caller reported seeing her with a gun and a dead boy wrapped in a blanket, according to an arrest report obtained by news outlets.

Officers found Higgins on a blood-stained porch before opening the vehicle’s trunk and finding the child’s body inside, the arrest citation said. Higgins told police she shot her son after trying to cut out his tongue, according to the citation.

Attorney Ashlea N. Hellman wrote in a court filing that Higgins “appears to struggle to appreciate the serious nature of these charges," and that she does not “have a rational understanding of the proceedings against her.”

Hellman added that Higgins sometimes responds in an “inappropriate” manner when discussing the case, including “laughing at random." Higgins has also allegedly said “bad spirits” caused “certain actions in the house,” and said that a window there was “cursed,” according to Hellman.
