It is a disturbing, troubling case out of Houston, TX where investigators said they found the body of 9-year-old Ayahna Comb in a freezer.

According to Local 2 News, the severely handicapped child was wrapped in blankets and was placed in the kitchen – she had been there since January. The discovery, according to reports, was made by a neighbor who called for help. Her cause of death has not been released.

According to the mother, Ayahna stopped breathing on Jan. 29 and that’s when she allegedly put the child in the freezer drawer. She was only 14 pounds when her body was discovered.

Local 2 News said according to an affidavit they obtained, when the mother was asked why she hid Ayahna’s death and didn’t call 911 and the court paperwork said, “Ms. Keyes said she panicked and does not know why she didn’t call for help.” Apparently the mother was telling others her child was in a special care facility for children who had special needs and she continued to collect government funds for the child.

It is unclear whether charges will be filed, but reports said the younger sister was telling other children about finding a dead body.
