    Clark County District Court Judge David Wall unsealed a Clark County Grand Jury indictment this morning charging Gladys Perez with murder in the death of her three-year-old daughter Crystal Figueroa.

    Known for nearly six weeks as Jane “Cordova” Doe, the toddler was found dead in a garbage can January 12, 2006. She was recognized by her maternal grandmother following a nationwide search seeking the child’s identity. This tip led police to suspect Perez and her boyfriend Marc Anthony Colon for the child’s death.

    Perez will be arraigned in the District Court’s Arraignment Court at 10:30 a.m. on March 29, 2006.

    Case Number: 06-C-220720-C, Judge Michelle Leavitt.
