A Bellevue mother charged with first-degree murder has turned herself into police. Neena Costanza, 21, surrendered to Metro Police last night after a Grand Jury issued an indictment on charges of first-degree murder, aggravated child neglect and aggravated child endangerment in connection with the death of her 17-month-old daughter.
Costanza’s boyfriend, Jacob Hughes, was arrested back in July on charges of murder and aggravated child abuse. It is believed he was responsible for Eloise Costanza’s head injuries and bruising.
Police believe Hughes was caring for the Eloise the day she died. He contacted his girlfriend through Facebook to inform Costanza that Eloise was having trouble breathing, according to statement issued Metro Police. Costanza rushed home from work, calling 911 as she neared her Bellevue home. When paramedics arrived they found the child bruised and unresponsive. Hughes blamed the girl’s condition on a fall. An autopsy later concluded Eloise’s death was result of homicide, noted Metro Police.
Police say Costanza knew of Hughes alleged abusive behavior but chose to leave the child in his care.
Costanza was released Friday night after posting $50,000 bond. Hughes has remained in jail since his July arrest.
