** Update 5-26-12, 6:00pm ** Cincinnati police have charged 26-year-old Marquita Burch with abuse of a corpse and tampering with evidence in connection with the death of William Cunningham.

Covington detectives had questioned Burch on May 25 after she reported the boy missing from the City Heights Public Housing Complex while she was babysitting him. Burch eventually admitted to lying, telling investigators Cunningham had actually died in an apartment on Sheehan Avenue in Hartwell. At that point, Cincinnati police took over the investigation and Burch took them to an apartment on Winton Road where she had moved the body.

The body was taken to the Hamilton County Coroner and an autopsy will be performed.
