^ The babysitter who kidnapped, burned, shaved, and left naked 2-year-old Lyndon Albers under leaves on the side of the road appeared in court today. Her attorney entered a plea of 'not guilty'.
^ Abigail Hanna arrived to court in an unmarked police car with tinted windows Monday. She had a lot of support in the courtroom, including her parents and her fiance. They sat and listened as a court physician described a mentally ill person suffering, " multiple psychotic symptoms."
Hanna could barely stand on her own during the arraignment, court officers held her arms.
Tammy Howe, court psychologist, said, "In my opinion she is not competent." Howe says she examined Hanna since she's been in custody.
"She is experiencing suicidal ideations, and she's hasn't tried to hurt herself today, but it's unclear if she is intending to today," she said.
Howe says the 21-year-old was unable to communicate and understanding of the charges of even where she was. She also said Hanna has a history of suicide attempts.
Hanna's defense attorney said the suspect was suffering from "serious and potentially life threatening issues." Read the full statement below.
The search warrant indicates that police searched Hanna's home looking for cigarettes, hair clippers, scissors, children's clothes and footwear. The entire document is attached to this post.
Hanna will undergo a full mental evaluation in Worcester before her next court appearance Dec. 11.
