Grandmother Facing First-Degree Murder Charge Expected To Appear In Court

A grandmother charged with murdering her 3-year-old granddaughter is scheduled to appear in court Tuesday.

Authorities said the little girl, identified as Riley Lynn Nolan, was found dead last month in a trash bin.

Nolan's grandmother, Becky Vreeland, is facing a first-degree murder charge in connection with Riley's death.

Vreeland told investigators she didn't kill the girl, but instead claims Riley fell into the garbage bin.
