According to the updated article linked above, the arrest affadavit was released to the Star Herald yesterday evening. It indicates that the school contacted Kerra's mom to inquire as to why she wasn't at school, but it was Kerra's grandmother who hours later notified the police that Kerra was missing (at 3 pm that day).
The affadavit also states that the POS stepfather, Lopez, admitted that he intentionally and purposely caused the death of Kerra Wilson.
He was arrested for first degree felony murder and first degree felony sexual assault of a minor. Charges for the murder have been filed, but not (yet) for the sexual assault. Maybe he's denying it and they will add charges after autopsy? Imo, there is a reason LE was holding him on both counts. Lopez is to be arraigned on Monday morning.
As for the mother, I found nothing (other than her name). LE indicates they are still investigating and nothing I could find indicates that the mom has or has not been cleared of any involvement or knowledge.
So angry and sad about this, but relieved that little Kerra was not left in the elements for a prolonged period time and LE is making quick progress in pushing forward to hold the responsible party(s) accountable.
