One day after charges were formally filed against Melody Townsend in connection with the death of her child in 2017, she faced a Cook County judge via Zoom for the first time.
In the summer of 2017, firefighters responded to a fire at a vacant home on Hamlin Avenue in south suburban Markham. After it was declared arson, investigators found the baby's remains in a plastic bag in the attic.
Through canvassing the community, Holmes was connected to the child's grandparents. He turned his information over to detectives who eventually tracked her down in California. "When [she] returned," according to prosecutors,"she walked into the hotel room and observed [the victim] on the bed. The [victim] appeared to not be breathing, and had aspirated." They go on to say,"Melody took a shower and when she exited the shower, the child's father had [the victim] in a car seat."
Prosecutors then allege Townsend and the child's father lied about the whereabouts of Ana Marie before ultimately cutting ties with their family and moving out of state."No soot was identified on the child’s airway, which supports that the victim was dead at the time of the fire," said Morrissey.
