Texas mom sentenced to 45 years for killing son, 6

A Texas woman was sentenced yesterday to 45 years in prison for suffocating her 6-year-old son in a New Hampshire motel room and leaving his body along a dirt road in Maine. The discovery of Camden Hughes’ body last May set off a nationwide effort to identify him. Meanwhile, his mother, Julianne McCrery, called his kindergarten daily to report him absent with appendicitis.
