JM was just arraigned on murder charges in New Hampshire--head down and tears rolling down her cheeks. NECN showed it live.
RIP, Camden!
TY. Yes, saw photos etc and agree...which is why I questioned if eye color can change after death. Many WSers are far more knowledgeable than I re changes/death. And thought best to ask question here rather than question unknown posters claiming to know the child.
Hi everyone. I joined WebSleuths as I knew there would be allot of discussion about little Camden. My family all lives in downeast ME and this has been very devastating for the 'Downeasters'. I live in San Diego and have been reading as much as I can.
JM spoke to her Ex BF on Tuesday, he stated she seemed absolutely fine. He actually had no idea she was in ME. He had loaned his truck to her. I believe that was the one she was driving when the MA State Troopers found her. She also called her Mom in Nebraska but the Mom said she was not home to take her call.
Seems she was suffering with allot of depression.
I have been here reading and thank you for all the information.
The 42-year-old Irving, Texas, mom is accused of killing her 6-year-old boy, Camden Hughes. Authorities say she killed her boy in New Hampshire by asphyxiating him using physical force and dumped the body in South Berwick, Maine, off a rural road last weekend.
I believe he is talking about when she was pregnant with Camden.The 42-year-old Irving, Texas, mom is accused of killing her 6-year-old boy, Camden Hughes.

Susan Morrell, the N.H. senior assistant attorney general, said today in Portsmouth that it is clear the homicide was in New Hampshire.
McCrerys former boyfriend in Texas, Robert Miller, told the Herald today he was in the room when she learned that the baby she was carrying would be a boy
Who's pregnant? Not sure I understood this part

Welcome, KaraKitty. The Boston TV stations were reporting yesterday afternoon that they had traced the registeration on the truck to a woman in Irving, TX. WCVB even called the ex-boyfriend and mother. On-air, the reporter asked for JM's older son's phone number--fortunately, he didn't know.
I hadn't heard the ex-BF said it was his truck. Some of the things he said, though, seem to differ with statements by others who knew JM and CH. Like, he goes to church with him. Pastor is quoted that he never saw a man with JM, CH, and her mother. He said JM only attended sporadically but Camden was there more, according to the Lowell Sun. (Lowell is the city next to Chelmsford, where she was arrested.)

"Juli McCrery, who raised her younger son as a single mother, attended
church less often than Camden, who would often get dropped off by his
mother and attend both the 10 a.m. Sunday school class, and the 11:15
class afterward. [Pastor] never saw a man with the family."
Oh wow, I would have loved to have seen that. So she definitely killed him in NH.
Yes, they must have evidence beyond her confession that she killed her son in NH. Her lawyer, Murphy, asked her why he was found in Maine. She said that she had to go to Maine.
Someone mentioned earlier in this thread that South Berwick was were Jeffrey Curley's body was discovered. Jeffrey was the Somerville, Mass., boy who was groomed and abducted by two pedophiles, then taken to Manchester, NH, and murdered. They put his body in a large plastic trunk, filled it with concrete, and dumped him in a river in South Berwick. Seems like the heinous murder of Jeffrey Curley was just a couple of years ago. But it was 1997.
I read Robert Curley's book about his son's murder last year. I'd heard him on a discussion about the death penalty. After Jeffrey was murdered, his father was a strong advocate for the death penalty and testified at the Massachusetts State House about a bill to institute it. But years later, after the trials of the two men, he came to oppose it.
Because the Curley murder was 13 years ago and the circumstances were so different, I doubt it influenced JM's choice of South Berwick (unless she'd read the book).
After death eye color does change, slightly. However after about 2 hrs of death a haze starts taking place over the eye, which can give the effect they look lighter. After about 2 days the eyes have thick film/haze over them and it looks cloudy white.
When asked if his client came to New England on a murder-suicide mission, Murphy answered, Yes.

I don't know if I agree with her attorney releasing details of his conversation with his client, but I do agree with him on the murder-suicide mission.
In the article, Murphy also states he doesn't believe cough syrup was involved in Camden's death.
He had loaned his truck to her. I believe that was the one she was driving when the MA State Troopers found her.
Oh gosh, I remember the case of little Jeffrey Curley. Horrible. Just horrible. Those two that killed him. Disgusting even thinking about those two.
I lived in Boston until moving to San Diego in 2008.
