The mother of 3-year-old Emma Cole, whose remains were found in a Smyrna softball field in September 2019, has been charged with murder.
Kristie Haas, Emma s biological mother, and her husband, Brandon Haas, Emma s stepdad, were indicted early last month on charges of child abuse and endangering the welfare of a child.
Kristie Haas also was indicted on abusing a corpse and reckless burning charges.
On Tuesday, the Delaware Department of Justice, in conjunction with Smyrna police and the FBI, announced Kristie Haas had been re-indicted on two counts of first-degree murder by abuse or neglect. She still faces the April allegations.
