The Oklahoma woman accused of leaving her non-verbal autistic grandson at a Greenwood County rest stop 15 months ago has filed a motion to dismiss her case.
Janie Gill appeared last week in Eureka ahead of a preliminary hearing March 20. She is requesting her Greenwood County case be dismissed because a federal habeas corpus writ, a court order demanding that a public official deliver a prisoner and demonstrate valid reasons for that person’s detention, expired last month.
Gill was charged last year with child endangerment and interference with law enforcement in Kansas. She was later charged with child neglect in Rogers County, Oklahoma, relating to the same case.
Prior to this round of hearings, Gill had been housed in Phelps County, Missouri, on unrelated charges of forgery and disturbing the peace.
