EMMETT — An Emmett woman arrested in connection to the death of an 8-year-old girl appeared in court for the first time Monday afternoon.
Connie Smith, 54, was originally booked in Ada County on a first-degree murder charge Thursday evening. That charge has been amended, and Smith is now charged with felony failure to notify of a death as well as felony destruction, alteration or concealment of evidence.
The body of 8-year-old Taryn Summers Quinton was found on Smith’s property Thursday. Few details have been released about the case, but Smith is the child’s grandmother. Taryn’s two siblings, 16-year-old Tristan Conner Sexton and 14-year-old Taylor Summers Quinton, were reported as runaways last fall. During a news conference last week, Gem County Sheriff Donnie Wunder said law enforcement has been in contact with Taylor, and family members have been in contact with Tristan. Police do not believe the kids are in danger.
