Police found Malachi Lawson's body, covered in severe burns, in a dumpster last week in West Baltimore, Maryland.
Alicia Lawson, 25, had reported him missing last Thursday, telling police she left her son with his grandmother at home, but he was not there when she got back.
Police launched a wide search for the boy, with almost 100 locals handing out flyers, in a desperate bid for more information. But after she was scrutinized by cops, she admitted her son was dead.
