Danielle Dauphinais, 38, will plead guilty Thursday to second-degree murder and two counts of witness tampering in the death of her son Elijah Lewis.
A New Hampshire mother accused of killing her 5-year-old son pleaded guilty in his death on Thursday morning.
Dauphinais' boyfriend, Joseph Stapf, pleaded guilty to manslaughter, second-degree assault, falsifying physical evidence and witness tampering in 2022 in connection with the boy's death. He was sentenced to 22 to 45 years in prison. When Elijah died and child welfare workers started to investigate his disappearance, the couple put his body in a container and brought him to Ames Nowell State Park in Abington, Massachusetts, where Stapf dug a hole and buried him, according to prosecutors.
