Dejaune Anderson, the mother of Cairo Ammar Jordon, whose body was found in a suitcase outside of Pekin April 16, 2022, was arrested by U.S. Marshalls in Arcadia, California.
According to Sgt. Carey Huls, Indiana State Police Sellersburg District 45 Information Officer, Anderson has waived extradition back to Indiana and will return no later than Apr. 5. She will probably be escorted by U.S. Marshalls and delivered to the custody of the Washington County Sheriff's Department.
In November 2023, Dawn Coleman, 41, was arrested in connection with Jordan's death and sentenced to 30 years in prision with five years suspended for probation.
Cairo Ammar Jordan's body was discovered in a suitcase by a mushroom hunter. The determined causes of death were vomiting and diarrhea that led to dehydration.
Through the help of the community, he was buried at Crown Hill Cemetery, complete with headstone, on June 1, 2022.
