PALMER -- Gov. Sarah Palin signed an extradition warrant Wednesday allowing Colorado officials to take a Wasilla woman accused of murder to that state to stand trial. Morgan Hite, 22, is charged in Colorado with first-degree murder and child abuse resulting in death stemming from the death of her son, who was discovered stuffed inside a plastic tote at her father and stepmother's Grand Junction home April 29.
Hite arrived there to visit her family in late February and secretly had the child in a neighbor's bath tub the next day, according to court documents. She is accused of killing the boy by wrapping him in plastic and stuffing him in a closet until he was discovered two months later.
Hite, who has a 4-year-old daughter, told investigators that she was not ready to have another child. The daughter has been placed into the custody of her father.
She will likely be sent to Colorado in the next week, according to the governor's office.
