It was something far worse. >> It looks like a kid that's curled up in there. >> Inside bags in a suitcase, officers made a chilling discovery. It's a little >> girl. >> In a black and yellow plastic bin buried beneath the bags in the suitcase containing the little girl or the aged remains of a small boy. Moments later, they confirm it's a little girl. Two children, aged only seven and five, hidden in a car trunk for months. Their aunt, 33-year-old Nicole Johnson, had been driving with their bodies while living in the vehicle. Neither child was in school. Neither had seen a doctor. They had simply vanished from the system. In court, she faced charges of child abuse, neglect, and homicide. In February 2025, Nicole Johnson was sentenced to life in prison, most of it suspended. Two innocent lives lost, hidden in plain sight. Do you think justice was truly served?
