A grand jury has returned charges in a child murder case in the Capital District that shocked the public and the police.
A murder indictment has been handed up in a case that began with a multi-state Amber Alert but ended with the discovery of a young boy's body.
The Albany County District Attorney's office says 20-year-old Tiffany VanAlstyne of Berne, in Albany County, is now facing charges of murder and manslaughter in the December strangulation death of her 5-year-old cousin, Kenneth White.
Initially, police were told the boy had been abducted from his home by two men, but his body was found some 12 hours later not far from the home.
