ARREST MADE IN DEATH OF COVINGTON BOY

|

by Michael Monks 
Marquita Burch
Cincinnati Police arrested Marquita Burch, the woman who reported 1-year old William Cunningham to be missing somewhere in the woods that surround City Heights in Covington. Burch, 26, recanted her original story when pressed by Covington Police who noted discrepancies in her tale. At that point Burch confessed to the police that the boy had died on Sheehan Avenue in Cincinnati and that she had moved the body to an apartment on Winton Road. Cincinnati Police officers entered the apartment and found the boy's body inside a hall closet. The body was examined by Hamilton County Coroner William Ralston, MD, before it was transported to the coroner's office.

Burch is charged with abuse of a corpse and tampering with evidence. The homicide unit within the Cincinnati Police Department continues its investigation and asks anyone with further information to call 513.352.3542 or Crimestoppers at 513.352.3040 (or text CINTIP to CRIMES, or 274637).
