‘She was a demon’: Suspect in ‘Baby Doe’ murder obsessed with occult
Bond was charged with accessory to murder after the fact and was held on $1 million cash bail.
Rachelle Bond, the mother of Bella, and Michael McCarthy appeared in court for the first time for their arraignments in Dorchester Municipal Court in Boston, Mass., on Monday.
A Massachusetts prosecutor says the mother of Baby Doe reported that her boyfriend killed the girl when she wouldn’t go to sleep one night and he called her a demon.
According to Lavoie, when Ms. Bond had not heard any noise, she went in and found Bella “lying on a bed and McCarthy standing over her with his hand near her abdomen”.
The friend then reached out to McCarthy via text message and asked him about Bella’s death, and McCarthy said she was with DCF, Deakin said.
‘When Miss. Bond looked at Bella, her head was swollen, and her face was gray.

Bond said she allowed McCarthy to get a plastic construction bag and believes McCarthy put Bella’s body inside and then put the bag inside a refrigerator, the prosecutor said.
Earlier in the hearing, Bella’s godmother, Megan Fewtrell, yelled at Bond: “I hope you rot in hell!” “You won’t last a day”.
Bond and McCarthy were arrested last week after a friend staying with the couple provided a crucial tip that led investigators to identify the young girl.
McCarthy is Bond’s boyfriend, according to ABC News affiliate WCVB-TV in Boston.
During a search of their apartment, police found books there on demons and demonology, Deakin said.
Authorities on Friday finally identified Baby Doe as 2½-year-old Bella Bond and announced charges against Rachelle Bond and her boyfriend, McCarthy.

The pair are also both charged with improper disposal of a body. MSNBC Bella’s biological dad, Joe Amoroso, attends Monday’s arraignment.
Bella Amoroso Bond was just shy of 3 years old.
After their arrests, the couple pointed fingers at each other over her death, Massachusetts House Speaker Robert DeLeo said.
Speaking to the Globe and the Associated Press, prosecutors and police declined to comment on the truth of Amoroso’s account.
Joseph Amoroso spoke with news outlets in Boston. If she’s really getting clean now, she will have to live with that knowledge forever, and no matter what the circumstances, that’s not something I envy another mother. “How could you help the man who killed Bella?” she asked.
“This child, whose very name means beauty, was murdered”, Conley said.
‘[Bella] was loved. She was a attractive little girl.
But the lovely baby girl couldn’t keep Bond’s troubles at bay.
She then added; ‘She made a promise to me and that baby that she would do it right. He claimed that Bond confessed Bella’s death to him last week, exclaiming, “Our daughter is dead…”
