Ivon Adams, one of the caretakers for 4-year-old Athena Brownfield when she disappeared, allegedly beat her to death and buried her near their old house, according to court documents
Authorities first discovered that Athena was missing on January 10, after her 5-year-old sister was seen by a mail carrier wandering unattended outside of a home in the Oklahoma town of Cyril. Adams and his wife were arrested and charged in the case last week. On Tuesday, the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation announced it recovered the remains of a child and that they will be taken to a medical examiner’s office for positive identification.
In its Tuesday announcement, the state’s bureau of investigation said the child remains were recovered in rural Grady County, “outside of Rush Springs.” Ivon Adams, who was arrested Thursday in Arizona, faces one count of murder in the first degree and felony child neglect, according to online records for Caddo County, Oklahoma, District Court. He remains in custody without bond in Maricopa County, Arizona, according to online records.
