New Hampshire woman pleads guilty to murder of her infant son – Boston News, Weather, Sports

NASHUA, NH (WHDH) – A New Hampshire woman plans to change her plea to guilty in the murder of her young son.

5-year-old Elijah Lewis was reported missing in October 2021.

He was later found dead in the Abington woods.

The coroner determined that his death was due to violence, neglect, malnutrition and drug poisoning.

Prosecutors said Danielle Dauphinais and her boyfriend Joseph Stapf placed the child's body in a container and buried it.

On Thursday, Dauphinais will plead guilty to first-degree murder and two counts of witness tampering.

She faces up to 55 years in prison. Her boyfriend is serving a 45-year sentence.
