Police in Georgia confirmed that Leilani Simon is the primary suspect in the disappearance of her son, Quinton Simon.

In the police report, she is listed as the “complainant” and the “victim.” Eight days later, though, CCPD and the FBI named her the prime suspect in Quinton's disappearance and what they believe to be his likely death. Simon told the police officer that she and her mother had a fight over clothes in the washing machine. While the fight did start with the use of the washing machine, Howell claimed she was having other issues with her daughter. Simon fell into a wall, injuring and bruising her elbow. Her mom, Simon said, got into her face and shoved her. Hadley said he wasn't sure where Simon was at the time of the press conference, but they don't believe she is a flight risk.

After a weeklong search, Chatham County police announced Thursday that they believe 20-month-old Quinton Simon is dead, though no body has been recovered.
