Evelyn Boswell Update: Mother Of Dead Toddler’s Bond Raised After TBI Agent Testifies In Court

Megan Boswell, the mother of Evelyn Boswell, a 15-month-old recently found dead in Tennessee, made her first court appearance on Monday.

Boswell, 18, is charged with giving false reports to investigators that they claim cost them valuable time in their search. Following the testimony of a Tennessee Bureau of Investigation (TBI), her bond was increased from $25,000 to $150,000.

TBI Special Agent Brian Fraley appeared in court to discuss the investigation and Boswell’s part in it. According to Fraley’s testimony, the body believed to be Evelyn Boswell was found on property owned by a member of the family and was wearing the exact clothing that the toddler was last seen in. A search of the house on the property in Blountville, Tennessee, also found children’s clothing, diapers, and toys. Boswell’s father, brother, and grandmother all live at the property, according to Judge Barry Stabus.

“The clothing, with the prior interview of Ms. Boswell, the clothing described in that interview was the exact clothing that was found on this child,” Fraley said.

Boswell is also being held for a contempt charge in another county’s Juvenile Court, but the details of this case have not been released.

While all signs point to the body found in Blountville being Evelyn, an official autopsy is being conducted in order to confirm its identity. The remains were found following an over two-week manhunt across three states.

Boswell is being charged with false reports after first telling investigators that Evelyn was with her father, and then saying she was camping with her grandmother. Both claims were later found to be false.
