A 6-year-old was found dead in her mother's car.

Julissa Thaler’s family members are under the impression that she took the life of her son to keep custody of him.

During a routine traffic stop in Minnesota last week, officials discovered the corpse of a young kid, aged six, who had been placed in the trunk of his mother’s vehicle.

Julissa Thaler, age 28, was taken into custody by the police in Orono, Minnesota, for driving in Mound while her window was broken and she had a flat tire. Even though there was blood inside the vehicle, Thaler and the man who was in the car with her were allowed to drive away from the scene. The body of a young Eli Hart was discovered by the officers inside the trunk.
