Part of situation: Murder charges against Philadelphia foster mother (3 clusters)

Caprice Williams charged with murder in death of 10-year-old girl

Malayshia Alford Caprice Williams Philadelphia foster care Lindenwold homicide child abuse investigation

Caprice Williams, a 36-year-old teacher and foster mother, has been charged with murder following the discovery of 10-year-old Malayshia Alford's body in New Jersey. Alford had been missing from her West Philadelphia home since October 22.

Authorities discovered the child's remains in the trunk of a vehicle at the Stonington Court Apartments in Lindenwold, Camden County, on Wednesday night. Surveillance footage from October 26 allegedly shows the child's body being moved from the North Simpson Street residence in a bag. This footage helped investigators identify a witness who led them to the vehicle.

A medical examiner ruled the death a homicide caused by blunt force trauma. Prosecutors allege that Alford showed signs of abuse and that specific objects may have been used during the assault. Williams faces multiple felony charges, including murder, endangering the welfare of a child, tampering with evidence, and abuse of a corpse.

Williams, who reportedly had no prior criminal record, is being held without bail. The investigation involved the Philadelphia Police Department and the FBI.
