LOS ANGELES — Almost two years after her 5-year-old son’s body was found in a suitcase along an Indiana highway, the mother wanted on a murder warrant was arrested in California, police said Friday. Dejaune Ludie Anderson has been sought since a warrant was issued in October 2022 for her arrest in the death of Cairo Jordan. Months earlier, an Indiana mushroom hunter found a suitcase that held the remains of her son Cairo, officials have said.
That changed this week after an Indiana State Police detective “received information from a concerned citizen,” that eventually led to Anderson’s arrest in Arcadia, Huls said. Anderson was being held in a Los Angeles jail Friday, Huls said. It was not clear Friday night if she had an attorney who could speak on her behalf. Authorities will seek to bring Anderson back to Indiana to face charges. Police are not looking for anyone else in connection to the death of Cairo, Huls said.
