DICKSON COUNTY, Tenn. (WKRN) -The mother of Joe Clyde Daniels has not been charged with first-degree murder, despite jail records showing the charge against her Wednesday morning.
Krystal Daniels was listed as having a first-degree murder charge early Wednesday morning, though a Dickson County official told News 2 a short time later the charge was listed incorrectly.
She had previously been indicted for failing to prevent aggravated child abuse and neglect and later hindering the investigation.
Both Joseph and Krystal Daniels were arraigned Friday morning after being indicted by a special grand jury.
The district attorney also indicated it could be a death penalty case, but a final decision has not yet been made.
Five-year-old Joe Clyde was initially reported missing from his Dickson County home in early April. His father confessed to killing him a few days later. He has been jailed ever since.
Krystal Daniels was arrested several days later and remains jailed. She is expected to go to trial next March.
Joe Clyde’s remains have not yet been recovered.
