Report: Mom Held In 2 Child Deaths Spoke Of Selling Organs

LAS VEGAS (AP) — Authorities in Las Vegas say a 26-year-old woman who is accused of killing her two young daughters told police she didn't have children, didn't recognize their father and spoke about selling the girls' body parts.

A police report said Amanda Sharp-Jefferson told the father that the babies' organs would be worth a lot of money. Sharp-Jefferson was arrested Friday and remains jailed pending a bail hearing Thursday at which she will be represented by an appointed attorney.

A police lieutenant told a newspaper when Sharp-Jefferson was arrested Friday that it was too early to know if she had a mental illness.

How is Las Vegas' healthcare system really doing, and what does it mean for you and your family? Desert Companion's Health Issue takes a deep dive into these questions and explores how heart-centered business leaders prove that doing good benefits the bottom line.
