Hey, remember the Mom who got in the high-speed chase

and ended up crashing and killing her baby? There's more information now:

Police Find $10K In Keene Mom's Car

(CBS 11 News) JOHNSON COUNTY A North Texas mother has been charged with evading arrest with vehicle causing death after a chase with police ended in the death of her 9-month-old daughter.

Reports indicate the child was ejected from the sport utility vehicle her mother was driving while trying to flee authorities.

Johnson County Sheriff Bob Alford said Monday that detectives found about $10,000 in cash, checks, and jewelry in the SUV following the crash. Alford also said that police in Brownwood reported more than $41,000 in deposits missing from the department store where Riza worked.

Brownwood police are now filing charges of theft against Riza.

Alexxus Riza was thrown from the SUV when it crashed into a concrete median and rolled several times under an Interstate 35 overpass, said Trooper Dub Gillum of the Texas Department of Public Safety.

The driver -- Aimee Andrea Riza, 36, of Keene, -- had lost control of the vehicle and struck a traffic light before hitting the concrete barrier, DPS officials said.

The mother sustained minor injuries.

Authorities said it's unclear why Riza wouldn't stop when they tried to pull her over Friday evening. She had no warrants for her arrest, but authorities say she went on to lead them on a chase through two counties.

A motorist had called the Somervell County Sheriff's Department to report a reckless driver on U.S. 67 near Glen Rose. When Riza refused to stop, deputies chased her toward Cleburne, Gillum said.

Cleburne police officers, Johnson County sheriff's deputies and state troopers tailed the SUV, which traveled at speeds of up to 110 mph, Gillum said.

Authorities used spikes, tried to block intersections ahead and backed off the SUV hoping it would slow down. But Riza continued to drive until she crashed, even traveling on the rims after the SUV's tires were deflated, Gillum said.

2. Awww the poor, poor innocent victim of police brutality....
:sarcasm:

I hope she rots in jail for a very, very long time. Some people confuse the fact that even assholes can give birth. She ran because she was worried about having to go to jail and she didn't give one thought to the child she was supposed to care about.
