Pammy Maye was taken into custody Friday morning and charged with kidnapping and child endangerment in the case of her missing foster son, 5-year-old Darnell Taylor.Speaking at a press conference following the discovery, Police Chief Elaine Bryant said Darnell was believed to have been found dead, and said she’d contacted the prosecutor’s office to add an additional murder charge to Maye’s case.“This is a tragic development and we certainly hoped for a different outcome,” Bryant said.
Maye allegedly held her hand over her husband’s mouth during the 911 call and stated “she had a plan.” According to the affidavit, Maye then fled the home while her husband was still on the phone. The car was unoccupied, but Brooklyn officers found Maye on Friday after a business called police to report a suspicious woman walking around the building, Bryant said at the press conference.
