6-year-old dead in Harahan, investigation underway

HARAHAN, La. — The Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Office has arrested the woman they believe killed a 6-year-old girl in Harahan in a crime that stunned the entire community, Sheriff Joe Lopinto said in a press conference on Wednesday.
Bella Fontanelle, a kindergartener at St. Matthew the Apostle school, was found dead inside a bucket on her mother's front yard, Wednesday morning.
Police believe the father's girlfriend, Hannah Landon, 43, is the primary suspect, Lopinto said. She was arrested Wednesday afternoon at a local hospital. Lopinto would not say why she was at the hospital.
Lopinto said Bella's mother and father were both interviewed, and they are not considered suspects in the homicide investigation.
Apparently, neighbors' surveillance video showed Landon dragging a wagon with a bucket nearby, before the body had been found. She is facing first-degree murder charges as well as an obstruction of justice charge, according to JPSO.
Harahan Police Chief Ed Lepre, who was out of town in Florida, returned Wednesday afternoon to deal with the tragedy. He was noticeably moved by the circumstances and wanted to reassure the public.
"The city of Harahan is still safe for the public," he said, while pausing. "This is a safe city."
Coroner Gerry Cvitanovich said that while the case is clearly a homicide, the details of the crime would not be released at this time.
He commended all who worked on the case, saying it wasn't easy.
"Cases like this are hard. We're parents, brothers, sisters."
Eyewitness News spoke to neighbors who said this is a quiet, family-orientated neighborhood. They say they're shocked this happened. One neighbor told us he saw Bella and her family biking around the neighborhood just two weeks ago.

Just watched the press conference with Lapinto.
Apparently the father's girlfriend pulled a wagon with the little girl dead in a bucket over to the mother's house a block away and left it out front. They showed a neighbor's security cam footage on the news. Father woke up this morning and when the girl and girlfriend were gone, went to the PD to file a missing persons report.
She's in custody.
Incredibly shocking, it is such a nice and safe area.

This is straight out of a horror movie. How can anybody be that depraved?

It's unfortunate what our state has done with the death penalty.

This is why divorced parents should be very careful and cautious to bringing a stepparent into their kids lives. A lot of them don’t have the love and compassion for the kids and use them as a weapon. Obviously this is worst case!

Hearing the coroner say he won’t get into details as it’s an active investigation then talk about multiple injuries made my stomach churn

This world has lost it marbles and it won’t get them back. Too many depraved individuals. 350,000,000 people and 10% at any given time are crazy.
