UPDATE: Early this morning, members of the New York State Police, Troop D, made three arrests as the result of the investigation into Erin Maxwell’s death. Erin’s step-brother, Alan Jones, was charged with second-degree murder for allegedly causing the injuries that resulted in her death. The child’s father and step-mother, Lindsey and Lynn Maxwell, were each charged with six counts of endangering the welfare of a child because of the conditions the child lived in prior to her death.
The attorney for the Maxwell family says while his clients continue to be cooperative with police in the investigation into the death of 11-year-old Erin Maxwell, there has been little reciprocation. While the family maintains the child’s death was a tragic accident, police continue to investigate her death as a homicide. More than a month after her death, no arrests have been made in the case.
