welcome to what's a crime i'm linda and today i have an
update for you in the evelyn boswell case evelyn was the little baby
that was missing from tennessee she was missing in december 2019
but she wasn't reported missing until february 2020
just a month later evelyn was found deceased
her mother megan boswell has only recently been charged
and appeared in court today friday august 28
2020 but before i get started if you'd like to be part of the it's a crime

in court this morning and pleaded not guilty
in the death of her daughter little baby evelyn boswell
megan has been sitting in jail on charges of false reports
in fact the sheriff sheriff jeff cassidy said in a press conference
every time we talk to her her story changes
i'm serious when i say every single time and only recently new charges were
added on august 18 2020 she was also charged
with two counts of felony murder one count of aggravated child abuse
one count of aggravated child neglect one count of tampering with evidence
one count of abuse of corpse and one count of failure to report a death
under suspicious unusual or unnatural circumstances
that totals actually 19 charges including 12
counts of false reports and megan's attorney brad sproles
filed a motion for a change of venue because of the extensive media coverage
in the area he says a motion for a change of venue
under our rules here in tennessee has to be based on the amount of media
coverage that a case has received and i think that's clear
that is the case in this matter he goes on to say the rule
provides a procedure and what i've seen in the past is you look at surrounding
counties first and if the same press coverage has been
in those counties you start looking further out so i
expect we'll have to go further out and her attorney filed a
bill of particulars which means the defense is asking the state to clarify
some of the charges against megan he says the state has charged her
with the crimes of aggravated child abuse and aggravated child neglect
both of those based on what they refer to as serious bodily injury
but that is all we know so we've asked the state to clarify those statements as
to what bodily injury they are referring to
in both of those counts now when megan was doing
interviews in the past she mentioned that she wasn't sure of
what day that evelyn actually went missing and i
was reviewing some of my past videos this morning and i found this
little clip that i really wanted to share with you because it still stands
today have a look there's another thing she
said i don't know the exact day that she last
saw evelyn she says i don't know the exact
day and she said somewhere between the middle and end of
december you know what that makes me want to do
hi landon hyatt can you tell me the day that your child went missing
oh yeah you know yeah perfect
hi um this is a call regarding face wetlick can you tell me what day
your child went missing oh yeah okay thanks
right how do you not know the day your child goes missing
so i don't like that obviously and you guys probably don't either
now for the longest time the authorities said that there was a person of interest
but they didn't name who it was until recently
and sheriff jeff cassidy says this baby evelyn's body was found on march
6th since that time my detectives tbi agents
and the da's office have worked tirelessly conducting interviews
combing through evidence and establishing a timeline in order to
determine the circumstances leading to baby
evelyn's death as a result of false information given
by the defendant along with misinformation circulated in the
community there has been a lot of confusion in the
case i want to be clear when i say that after an extensive and thorough
investigation other individuals were eliminated as
suspects and megan boswell became the sole
suspect in this case now megan's bond is set to 1 million
dollars and her new court date is on december
3rd 2020. here's also what megan's lawyer
had to say the news as far as the 19 counts that
are now against megan boswell including two
of felony murder what's next in defending him well um
you know i found out when everybody else did what the charges would be
i spoke with the district attorney after the press conference
and they are going to work on providing us with the discovery for
all the evidence so we can take a look at it which we've not been able to at
this point so i'm sure that's going to take a while
there's volumes and volumes of evidence that
they've had to go through so that would be the next step is we will
get the state's evidence and miss boswell and i
will go through all that right and her next court date is on
august 28th what do you expect to happen then
uh most likely um would be an arraignment on
this new presentment that's what i expect to happen
i do think in my opinion that megan's lawyer is going to have his work cut
out for him megan has been charged on 12 counts of
false reports alone and the sheriff stated that
every single time she talks basically her story changes
and he reiterates every single time so if she continues this pattern of
behavior which in my opinion she most likely will imagine what that
could be like for her lawyer now if you would like to
check out the evelyn boswell case playlist

below let's have a chit chat below i feel so

relationship with her father and whose right
is it to take that away from her no one please subscribe please like and please
