“We have a small child that has lost its life in the hands of its mother and we would like to get this mother in custody because she is currently carrying another child right now, so we would like to get her in custody for her safety and for the safety of that child,” Rockdale County Sheriff’s investigator Grote Levett told Channel 2 Investigative Reporter Mark Winne before the arrest.
Rockdale County deputies were called to a home on Hamlet Walk on Jan. 8 where they found the child not breathing. The child was rushed to the hospital where he was pronounced dead.

Wright was interviewed that day, but, until now, that’s the last time investigators were able to pinpoint her whereabouts. It wasn’t until later that the child’s death was ruled a homicide.
It’s unclear when Wright will be extradited to Rockdale County.
