BAKERSFIELD
A California woman suspected of killing her three children in Reseda pleaded not guilty Wednesday to carjacking during an alleged escape to the Central Valley.
Liliana Carrillo, 30, entered pleas in a Kern County courtroom to four felony counts of carjacking, attempted carjacking and auto theft. Her bail was set at $2 million.
Carrillo’s three children were found dead Saturday by their maternal grandmother in her apartment in Reseda. She was arrested later that day in Tulare County, nearly 200 miles north of the scene.
Kern County prosecutors alleged that Carrillo crashed a car near Bakersfield, carjacked a truck from someone who stopped to help her, and tried to steal another truck before she was arrested Saturday afternoon in the San Joaquin County community of Ponderosa.
