California police have detained the mother of a nine-year-old girl, who was found stuffed in a duffel bag along a trail in California, and charged her boyfriend with murder in connection to the child's death.
Two people were taken into custody over the weekend. Family members identified one of those individuals as Taquesta Graham, 28, the mother of Trinity Love Jones, whose body was found partially inside a duffel bag.
The little girl was wearing what appeared to be pajamas, with her top holding the message 'future princess hero'.
On Tuesday, authorities charged Graham's boyfriend, Emiel Hunt, with murder. He was also taken into custody over the weekend, according to Trinity's family.

The scene was covered in colorful memorials and a picture of the youngster was added by family members.
The motive for Trinity's murder is not known at this time. Graham and Hunt are being held on a $2million bond each.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
