EL PASO, Texas (AP) — An El Paso woman sought in the disappearance of her 5-month-old son has waived extradition from Michigan for return to Texas.
Texas authorities said they suspect an infant's body found Wednesday buried in the New Mexico desert is the missing child.
A court official in Escanaba, Mich., says Jenna Farrey waived her right to a hearing there, expediting her return to El Paso.
The family was found missing Friday from their El Paso home. Farrey, husband Jeffery Farrey and 17-month-old son Blake were found Sunday in the Upper Peninsula city, but 5-month-old Jackson Farrey was missing.
The mother was wanted for violating probation of a 2012 child abandonment conviction. Her husband was extradited Wednesday on a child endangerment charge and is in El Paso County Jail on $1.5 million bond.
