SALEM – In new motions filed Monday, Dejaune Anderson, who is accused of killing her 5-year-old son Cairo Jordan, stuffing his body in a suitcase and tossing it in the woods, is requesting more than $31 million in alleged damages and losses she incurred since her arrest in March.
Anderson filed an itemized list of “expenditures, damages, and losses,” which includes more than $30 million and roughly $60,000 for unpaid rent and utilities for a California apartment.
Anderson also wants more than $900,000 in future medical treatment costs for injuries she claims to have sustained while in jail. She claims she was exposed to Agent Orange. She says she suffered loss of teeth and muscle mass and received chemical burns to her throat while being held at the Washington County Jail.
Anderson claims to have been placed under “MK Ultra mind control” while at the jail, and “chemicals” have been placed in her food, and “hazardous materials” were placed in air vents to irritate her.
On March 15, 38-year-old Dejaune Anderson was arrested in Arcadia, California, on charges including murder, neglect of a dependent resulting in death, and obstruction of justice.
In April 2022, a mushroom hunter found Cairo Ammar Jordan’s body. An autopsy found that the boy died from an electrolyte imbalance due to vomiting and diarrhea that led to dehydration. Investigators said Cairo died about a week or less before the mushroom hunter came upon the little boy’s body.
Anderson made several Facebook and Twitter posts between December 2021 and April 2022 saying she believed her son was a “demon who needed to be killed or exorcised.”
Anderson remains at the Washington Jail without bond and will be in court for a pre-trial hearing on June 20 at 9:00 a.m.
