'However, Delaware State Police say they were unable to verify Hooks’ story. Due to concerns for the welfare of the child, detectives obtained a search warrant on July 25th for Hooks’ home in the unit block of Squire Circle in the Royal Grant Development.

During the search, detectives located “a suspiciously wrapped package” in a storage area. The package was removed by the Medical Examiner’s Office which later determined it to be the remains of a male child at least one year of age.

Hooks was arrested and arraigned on the charge of abusing a corpse. She is currently held on $1,000.00 cash bail.'
