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.

Michael Capriglione, Newport s former police chief, who resigned that job before being elected to a position on the town s governing commission last month, has been barred by a local judge from taking office.
New Castle County Superior Court President Judge Jan Jurden ruled on Tuesday that Capriglione s conviction for official misconduct, which ended a four-decade career with Newport police, disqualifies him from holding public office.
Jurden wrote that the crime that saw him step down as chief calls into question the character of a person in whom so much trust was vested by virtue of his position and thus bars him from holding a similar position of public trust.
