Everett mother held on $5 million bail for violent murder of her 4-year-old son

A judge ordered bail of $5 million Monday for the Everett mother accused of killing her 4-year-old son and leaving his body on the side of Interstate 5 in Pierce County last week.

Janet Garcia, 27, made her first appearance in Snohomish County Court Monday morning after her arrest on Friday in connection to the death of her son, Ariel Garcia. According to court filings, police believe Janet Garcia stabbed the boy “up to 41 times” in a gruesome attack inside an apartment on Vesper Drive in Everett last week.

Investigators allege the boy’s death may have stemmed from a custody dispute between Janet Garcia and her mother, who petitioned on March 25 to obtain guardianship of Ariel Garcia.
