Missouri woman charged in death of boyfriend's son

A Columbia woman is charged with first-degree murder in the death of her boyfriend's 3-month-old son.

Twenty-seven-year-old Emily Paul was charged Friday in the April 8 death of Ayden Baker.

The child's father, Jibri Baker, was charged April 9 with first-degree murder.

The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports charging documents indicate Baker suffocated his son. Charges against Paul say police found telephone messages indicating that she "aided and encouraged" the suffocation death.

Paul is being held on $400,000 cash-only bond. Online court records do not indicate if Paul has retained an attorney.
