COOK COUNTY CRIMINAL COURTHOUSE — Kimberlynn Bolanos told police that she killed her 5-month-old son to prevent police from taking him away because she smoked crack, prosecutors said.
Bolanos, 21, appeared in Cook County Criminal Court on Friday on charges she murdered Isaac Bolanos. She is charged with stabbing the boy to death in a Lincoln Square motel on May 30.
Assistant State's Attorney Bridget O'Brien said Isaac suffered 21 stab wounds in his head and eight in his chest, and his throat was slashed from ear to ear.
Her public defender said Bolanos, who used to work for the Chicago Park District, has serious mental health issues.
O'Brien said Bolanos was staying with her son at the Diplomat Motel, 5230 N. Lincoln Ave., when her boyfriend came over on May 29.
She left to go to a nearby store, where she bought a package of knives, razors and a large knife, O'Brien said. She returned to the hotel, where she and her boyfriend drank, smoked crack and had sex before going to bed for the night.
The next morning, as the couple was making plans for the day, Bolanos went into the bathroom saying she was going to take a shower, and she took the boy with her, O'Brien said.
