Former Female Pro Boxer Accused of Murder!

WBAN has been notified that 44-year old Mona Nelson, 1-3-0 (0KO) of Texas, has been arrested for the murder of 12-year old Jonathan Foster, of Houston, Texas. Foster came up missing on Christmas eve, where he was living with his mother and stepfather.

The boy’s body was discovered in a ditch burned beyond recognition. Nelson had admitted to police that she had been with Jonathan on the day he came up missing, and she also made an admission to the police that she was the one disposing of his body in the ditch, but made no confession as to actually killing the boy.    Surveillance video showed Nelson dumping something out of her truck the night of the murder.  She originally lied to detectives, then admitted in a third questioning that she did dump the body, prosecutors said.  On August 27, 2013 Mona Nelson was found guilty of first degree murder and received a life sentence without parole.
