She later “admitted that she went too far and she knew the baby was deceased before midnight,” the statement said. “Aishia said she was holding the baby in her bed. Aishia said she put the baby back in the bassinet and went to sleep. She called 911 the next day.”

On Wednesday afternoon, Alexander County detectives executed the search warrant at the home at 204 A L Fox Road in the Wittenburg community in Taylorsville, Bowman said.

Detective Daniel Millsaps participated in the search, during which evidence was brought from the home in brown paper bags. Millsaps said the search would take about two hours, and detectives were collecting anything that may have relevance to the case.

'IT'S JUST SAD'

Glenda Turner, who lives next door to Pacheco, said she was surprised when she heard the ambulance in the neighborhood Tuesday morning. Turner immediately thought of the baby, she said.

Turner said she’s known Pacheco since she was a little girl, when Pacheco would often come to her house to play with Turner’s granddaughters.
