Sky Metalwala, 2, missing. Washington state

[Lady Cop]

you don't charge on the lesser offense (neglect or whatever the statute there reads). you wait for the bigger offense, for example murder? or you could lose the suspect over legalities. if she were ever charged with murder, they will throw in/stack the lesser included offenses. right now she is somewhat "cooperating". that would end if she were charged with the lesser offense.
