 After a 16-year-old girl killed her 7-year-old nephew, she wrapped his body in a blanket and stored it in a portable closet in her basement bedroom in the family’s Montbello home, according to court documents released Monday. The Denver District Attorney’s Office said Monday that the girl, who was not immediately identified by name, is being charged on suspicion of murder in the first-degree after deliberation and child abuse resulting in death. Two days later, after police obtained a search warrant for the house in the 4900 block of Fairplay Street, a Denver police detective found Jordan’s body in the closet. The coroner’s office was called to the home and the boy was pronounced dead at the scene. According to a probable cause statement, the teenage girl was in her basement bedroom on Aug. 6, upset about an earlier argument with a girlfriend. About 12:43 p.m., the child came downstairs and asked her to play video games with him. The teen told police that she instructed the child to go upstairs but instead he went to sit on her bed, upsetting her. Then, according to the document, the girl pushed him off the bed, causing him to strike his face on the floor. “She placed her hand over Jordan’s mouth and plugged his nose as Jordan began to struggle for a few minutes.” 
 
 Jordan stopped moving and she slid his body under her bed. The 16-year-old told police she put the body under her bed before wrapping him in a blanket and placing him in one of the two portable closets in her room. The teen "didn't tell any of her family what she had done to Jordan because she was afraid," according to the statement.
– A 16-year-old girl killed her 7-year-old nephew, then concealed the secret and his body as a community frantically searched, according to police. Denver's Jordan Vong was reported missing around 4:30pm on Aug. 6, hours after his mother had last seen him, prompting officers to search a 20-block radius, reports KDVR. The boy's body was discovered in one of two portable closets in the basement bedroom of his 16-year-old aunt during a second search two days later, the Denver Post reports. Police say the teen admitted to pushing the boy off her bed, causing him to hit his head and start crying, then using her hands to cover his mouth and nose until he stopped moving, reports KUSA. Authorities say the teen was upset because Jordan came into her room and asked to play video games, and he wouldn't leave when she refused. The teen, to be charged as an adult with murder and child abuse, first hid the body under her bed before wrapping it in a blanket and moving it to the closet, authorities say.
