A Georgia woman who reported her 20-month-old son missing in 2022, setting off a large search until his remains were found in a landfill, was sentenced to life in prison Thursday for his killing.
Leilani Simon was convicted of murder last month in Quinton Simon's killing. She was sentenced in a Chatham County court to life with the possibility of parole.
"The one thing that I will say before pronouncing sentence is clearly little Quinton Simon’s life and death impacted many, many individuals, but also the community at large,” Chatham County Judge Tammy Stokes said.
Simon reported her son missing from their home in Chatham County, near Savannah, on Oct. 5, 2022.
Authorities soon said that they believed Quinton was dead and that Simon was the prime suspect. His body was found in a landfill around five weeks after he was reported missing.
