A mother accused of killing her 20-month-old son allegedly told cops she disposed of ‘stinky shrimp pasta’ – when it was actually the remains of her toddler.
The grisly details emerged on the first day of Leilani Simon’s trial in the death of her son Quinton, who went missing in early October 2022 and promoted a national search.
Prosecutors on Monday played a recording of an interview Simon, 24, had with police days after her son vanished.
‘Yeah, I did throw away trash,’ Simon told a detective, according to Law&Crime.
‘There was spoiled food smelling in my car so when I pulled around and seen that (dumpster), yeah, I stopped and threw the trash away.
‘It was spoiled. Spoiled like shrimp pasta. The whole car smelled like shrimp. I was like, what is that smell?
‘I looked, and I threw it away. I didn’t think anything of it to be honest, it’s just old food.’
