Mom of missing toddler accused of filing false police report

BLOUNTVILLE, TN (AP) — The mother and grandmother of a missing 15-month-old girl are both in a Tennessee jail after giving conflicting accounts about the toddler’s disappearance.

Authorities say they are frustrated by the pair’s multiple versions of what happened to Evelyn Mae Boswell.

They have charged the girl’s 18-year-old mother, Megan Boswell, with filing a false report.
