Фьючерсы на золото подорожали в ходе американских торгов

The wife of a Kansas bail bondsman who is believed to have murdered his seven-year-old son and then fed the boy to pigs was arrested Thursday.

Heather Jones, 29, was being held without bond on suspicion of first-degree murder and child abuse but has not been formally charged, according the Wyandotte County Detention Center's online records.

Jones was arrested at about 4am Thursday on a bench warrant from 2012 and is on a 48-hour hold, according to jail records.

They did not provide details of why she was arrested or whether Jones had a lawyer.

It was also unclear when she would appear in court. The district attorney's office did not immediately return calls or emails seeking comment Thursday.

Heather Jones' husband, Michael Jones, was charged late last month with child abuse, aggravated battery and aggravated assault after authorities investigating a domestic disturbance found the remains of a juvenile on the family's property. He is jailed on $10 million bond.

No charges have been filed against him in connection with his son, Adrian Jones' disappearance, or with the discovery of the human remains on the property, which haven't been identified.

Heather Jones has said the missing seven-year-old boy was her husband's child from another relationship.

In interviews, she has alleged that her husband abused her and the missing boy.

'I was scared to death of Michael. I lived a life of hell trying to protect my children,' she told WDAF.

She also said she suspected her husband was going to kill her shortly before he was arrested because she 'found out' what happened to the missing child.

'I am not God, and I could not save everyone,' she said in a telephone conversation last week before her arrest.

Six girls from age 10 to less than two were taken from the home and are in state custody.

District Attorney Jerome Gorman has declined to address reports that the remains had been fed to pigs at the family's property, but has said investigators described the scene 'as one of the worst things that they have ever seen.'

He said the child abuse charge against Michael Jones, described as 'torturing or cruelly beating,' indicates the boy was abused between May 1 and September 28.

Heather Jones called her father on Thanksgiving and calmly told him that her husband killed Adrian and fed him to pigs on the property.

Jeff Coon said that his estranged daughter contacted him last month and during their conversation claimed that Michael Jones had killed Adrian and then disposed of the body.

'She told me that Mike killed the little boy and it would be all over the news,' Coon told The Kansas City Star.

'He fed him to the pigs, is all she said. … She just told me it was going to be all over the news, and that's the last time we talked.'

Coon added that his daughter 'spoke as if she were having a routine conversation.'

He shared that he only learned days later that she was telling the truth.

'I don't know if I didn't want to believe her,' he said.
