A Cleveland woman who called 911 to report her 3-year-old son missing from a city park had already killed the boy and left his body in a trash bin days earlier, prosecutors said. Camilia Terry, then 20, was later convicted of aggravated murder and sentenced to 30 years to life in prison.

Terry reported Emilliano Terry missing from Kossuth Park, on Cleveland's east side, on Nov. 25, 2012, according to Cleveland police. On the emergency call she said she had been watching another of her children on a swing when the boy vanished. "I'm calling you because I'm at a park and my son is missing," she told the dispatcher, adding that she had last seen him about 15 minutes earlier.

The report set off a large search. Police, FBI agents and volunteers with the Guardian Angels combed the neighborhood, checking garages and abandoned houses, according to news accounts at the time.

Investigators said Terry's account did not hold together, and she failed a polygraph examination. Detectives traced a garbage truck that had made a pickup near her apartment building. The next day, FBI agents recovered the boy's body from trash bags at a Waste Management facility in Oakwood Village, authorities said.

An autopsy found that Emilliano died of blunt force trauma to the head and torso. Prosecutors said Terry had killed the boy and placed his body in the garbage before she reported him missing, then led investigators on the search knowing he was already dead.

A Cuyahoga County jury found Terry guilty on Nov. 22, 2013, of nine of 10 counts, including aggravated murder, murder, felonious assault, child endangering, tampering with evidence, making false alarms and gross abuse of a corpse.

Common Pleas Judge Janet Burnside sentenced her on Dec. 19, 2013, to a minimum of 30 years to life. "I'm not a killer," Terry told the court, according to Cleveland media, denying the charges against her.
