Hall County, Georgia – Jessica Maria Motes, a 36-year-old woman from Hall County, has been arrested after the remains of her 4-year-old daughter were discovered in the trunk of her car. Authorities are still awaiting the results of an autopsy to determine the cause of death, but social media posts suggest that the child may have been hidden in the vehicle for several days.

The chilling discovery came to light when Jessica Motes was seen by her father on Sunday driving into a parking lot at a shopping center in Oakwood, Georgia. It’s reported that Motes confessed to her father, saying, “I hurt [redacted name]” and “I think she is dead.” Alarmed, her father immediately contacted law enforcement, who found the child’s remains in Motes’ Nissan sedan.

Jessica Motes was arrested that evening and charged with felony concealing a death. Authorities have yet to reveal the exact cause of death, and no further charges have been filed at this stage. The investigation is ongoing, and the child’s body has been sent for an autopsy.
