CLEVELAND (WJW) — The woman accused in the murder of 5-year-old Darnell Taylor, and who set off a statewide Amber Alert last week, was officially booked in jail Sunday evening, Cuyahoga County press secretary Jennifer Ciaccia confirmed to FOX 8.
Pammy Maye, 48, was booked at Cuyahoga County Corrections Center around 6 p.m., charged with murder, child endangering and kidnapping, according to Ciaccia.

Maye had previously been recovering in the hospital, after she was reportedly found wandering in her nightgown in Brooklyn Thursday night.
The little boy, whom she was a custodial parent of, was found dead in storm drain in Columbus Friday morning, according to police.
An Amber Alert was issued early Wednesday morning, after Maye’s husband had reported she told him she killed the 5-year-old, had a plan and then took off north from Columbus. Her Jeep was discovered at a Brooklyn apartment complex later that morning, but it would take until Thursday evening to find her.
