MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) - A judge has reduced bond for a Memphis mother jailed on charges related to the disappearance of her 7-week-old daughter.
General Sessions Criminal Court Judge Chris Turner cut the bond for Andrea Walker from $500,000 to $250,000 during a hearing Tuesday.
Wallker’s daughter, Aniston Walker, was reported missing Jan. 9.

Prosecutors have dropped an aggravated child abuse or neglect charge related to the 3-year-old boy.
Walker remains in jail on an aggravated child abuse or neglect charge in connection with the baby’s disappearance. She has pleaded not guilty.
