Ochra Manakaja, a 32-year-old woman, faces serious charges after her 16-month-old son, Zion, was found dead in a freezer at a hotel in Flagstaff, Arizona. She is accused of first and second-degree murder, along with 18 counts of child abuse and one count of concealing a dead body. According to police, Zion's body was discovered wrapped in a blanket, plastic, and tape after Manakaja had been staying at the La Quinta Inn and Suites for several weeks. Reports indicate that Zion had been ill, displaying symptoms such as fever and weakness, but Manakaja did not seek medical assistance due to fear of potential consequences from his condition. When authorities arrived, she claimed her son had likely choked after being sick. The Coconino County Attorney's Office expressed its condolences to those affected by the situation and emphasized that the defendant is presumed innocent until proven guilty in court. The investigation continues as the community grapples with the tragic circumstances surrounding this case.
