Authorities have arrested Keysheonna Reed, 24, of Wynne more than a month after newborn twins were found dead inside a suitcase along County Road 602, about 90 miles northeast of Little Rock.
Wynne faces two counts of abuse of a corpse, according to a news release from the Cross County sheriff’s office. She remained at the Cross County jail as of Thursday.
On Feb. 16, the agency found the bodies of two babies — a boy and a girl — on County Road 602 inside a purple suitcase. They had a gestational age of 32 to 34 weeks, meaning they were about six to eight weeks premature, according to authorities.
The state Crime Laboratory determined that the babies were born dead. No illegal substances were found in their systems.
