Body of child found in duffle bag identified as missing 4-year-old: Philadelphia police

The case of a missing child whose mother was charged with his murder has come to a tragic end months later as police identify a body found in a duffle bag in West Philadelphia.

www.fox29.com

Carter was reported missing in December 2023 after the boy's mother reportedly told family members he was hit and killed by a car.

In January, police executed a search warrant just blocks away from where the body was found.

Although Damari’s body was not found then, investigators charged his mother, 28-year-old Dominique Bailey, and 30-year-old Kevin Spencer with his murder.

We'll see how this goes -- murder charges have already been set.
This angel had his wings many, many months ago.
Keep flying high, Damari.
