NIAGARA FALLS, N.Y. (AP) -
Two teens charged in the death of a 5-year-old girl are facing arraignment.
Sixteen-year-old John Freeman is facing a murder charge and 18-year-old Tyler Best is facing a charge of tampering with evidence. They are scheduled to appear in Niagara Falls City Court on Tuesday morning.
The two were taken into custody Monday after Best led police to the body of Isabella Tennant. She had been dumped in a garbage bag and put in a trash can.
Her family had reported her missing Monday morning, and said she had last been seen Sunday night in the company of Freeman.
Isabella's body is scheduled for an autopsy on Tuesday.
