THE mother of a two-year-old girl found dead in the Adelaide Hills told police where her body was, a senior officer says. The 38-year-old has been charged with the toddler's murder and was expected to appear in the Mount Barker Magistrates Court on Thursday afternoon. Her daughter's body was found on a rural property at Bugle Ranges. Acting Superintendent Julie Thomas said the woman had gone to another property in the hills late on Wednesday night and was in a distressed state when she spoke with a person there. Officers were called and spoke to the woman at length, with information she provided leading them to the girl's location. Supt Thomas said the charged woman was not associated with the property where the girl was found but was an Adelaide Hills resident. "This is a very tragic incident and our thoughts are with the family affected," she said. No information has been released on how the girl died.
