Mother Charged in Son's Murder in Missouri
Patricia Freymuth, 33, a teacher described by Scott Freymuth's first grade teacher as an "honor student" boy, was charged with capital murder after his body was found in a weed-filled lot behind the family home. Scott had been shot three times, bound, and wrapped in a plastic bag, with authorities identifying a missing boot lace. Police linked bags and blood evidence to the scene, while neighbors noted the mother's active involvement in the boy's schooling.
