EMMETT, Idaho — The body of a missing 8-year-old from Emmett was discovered last week inside a trash bag in a car parked outside her own home.
The child's grandmother, 54-year-old Connie Ann Smith of Emmett, is charged with felony failure to notify of a death and destruction of evidence.
The dead girl is believed to be 8-year-old Taryn Summers, who was reported missing from her home along Airport Road on April 12. Investigators have not officially released the name of the victim - referred to by the initials T. S. in court documents - but the sheriff's office has told KTVB the body is believed to be that child.
