Louisiana woman, 41, is sentenced to 30 years for her role in death of boy, 5, who was found stuffed in a 'Welcome to Las Vegas' suitcase - as judge slams her for 'packaging Cairo like trash': Child's 'killer' mom remains on the run

The 'spiritual healer' charged in the death of a five-year-old whose body was found stuffed in a suitcase has been sentenced to prison.

Dawn Coleman, 41, received a sentence of 30 years, with five years of suspended probation Tuesday. She was charged with aiding, inducing or causing murder, neglect of a dependent resulting in death, and obstruction of justice in the murder case of Cairo Jordan.

Appearing in Washington Circuit Court in Salem, Indiana, Coleman pleaded guilty as part of a bargaining agreement.

'You packaged Cairo like trash,' Judge Larry Medlock said. 'He was an innocent little boy who wanted to be loved.'

A felony murder arrest warrant was issued for Cairo's mother, Dejaune Andeson, in November 2022 but she remains at large.

Coleman allegedly helped Anderson dispose of her son's body in April 2022.

As part of the plea deal, the Louisiana woman will have to testify against Anderson in any criminal case related to Cairo's death.

Coleman told investigators she found Anderson on top of her son in the trio's Louisville home.

She admitted to helping Anderson fit Cairo's body in a suitcase with a Las Vegas decal before they drove into Washington County and dumped it in the woods. 

A mushroom hunter stumbled upon the suitcase later that month, not far from a dead-end road.

Autopsy results showed that Cairo died from vomiting and diarrhea that caused dehydration and an electrolyte imbalance.

Police lifted fingerprints from trash bags the boy's body was wrapped in along with the suitcase. They came back a match for Anderson.

A month before her son's death, Anderson was arrested in South Carolina for child endangerment, speeding and failing to stop for officers.

She led police on a 30-minute chase that ended only when she ran out of gas. Coleman, who was in the car with her, claimed to be her sister.

Around two weeks before the discovery of Cairo's body, Anderson was arrested in Louisville for shoplifting and assault after she punched a security officer in the face.

Days later, the duo's phones were pinged in Pekin, Indiana, not far from the wooded area where the suitcase was dumped.

Surveillance video captured Anderson's car stopping on the road by the wooded area. On the day Cairo's body was found, the car was seen driving across the bridge from Indiana to Louisville.

Coleman initially pleaded not guilty to the charges. 

Both women posted extensively to social media, referencing demons and exorcism.

Anderson even reached out to Fr. Vincent Lampert, priest for the Archdiocese of Indianapolis, claiming that her son was possessed.

'I have survived the death attacks from my 5-year-old throughout the 5 years he has been alive,' she wrote in a tweet.

'I have been able to weaken his powers through our blood. I have his real name and he is 100 years old. Need assistance.'

On Facebook, Coleman billed herself as a healer, referring to herself as 'Mama Gawd' and writing that her 'mission' was to 'support souls.'

On April 8, 2022, eight days before Cairo's body was found, Coleman posted a message that read: 'Magic is real curses are real and there are some very powerful evil beings here that will curse your womb and then some.

'Nothing Is what It seems and we are catering to evil beings in children avatars that aren't even children.'

Cairo would have turned seven years old in October.

Police describe Anderson as five feet, five inches tall and 135 pounds.

While she had short, dark brown hair in her last known photo, she frequently wears wigs and hair extensions.

Anderson is known to travel, and in November of last year, police said she had visited San Francisco, San Diego, Las Vegas and Houston.
