BRIDGERTON, N.J. (1010 WINS) — A 28-year-old woman who killed her 23-month-old son before burning, dismembering and burying his remains was sentenced to life in prison on Tuesday.
Nakira Griner admitted to burning and dismembering Daniel Griner Jr.’s remains in 2019, but denied intentionally killing the baby.
Griner initially claimed she was assaulted with the infant strapped to her chest and had the baby stolen in a series of frantic 911 calls.
Officers and members of the public searched for the child, but when they found no evidence, Griner changed her story.
She claimed her baby fell down a flight of stairs, and that, fearing she would be blamed for the incident, she left Daniel alive in a stroller in a public space. She told investigators she hoped someone would find and help him.
Soon after, police found the baby’s burned and dismembered remains buried in the backyard of the family’s Bridgerton home.
Griner was convicted of murder, desecration of remains, tampering with evidence and false public alarm last month.
