The Week - The man charged with murdering Bella Bond, Boston's "Baby Doe," allegedly told Bond's mother the child was a demon and that it was "her time to die," a prosecutor said during Monday's arraignment, BuzzFeed News reports. Rachelle Bond, Bella's mother, allegedly went to the 2-year-old's bedroom one night and found her boyfriend, Michael McCarthy, standing over Bella, whose head appeared swollen and gray. The two then allegedly put Bella's body in a refrigerator before depositing it in the Boston Harbor with weights attached. The body of "Baby Doe" had gone unidentified for months until authorities received a tip leading to the child's identity earlier in September. McCarthy is being held without bail, and Bond, who was charged with being an accessory after the fact, is being held on $1 million bail, ABC News reports. Julie Kliegman
