Fryer remains jailed at the John E. Polk Correctional Facility. She was originally arrested on child neglect charges after the death of her 2-year-old daughter earlier this month.
Fryer says she found the girl unresponsive and couldn't revive her. She allegedly admitted to police she then put the girl's body in a suitcase and drove to Putnam County before burying the girl's remains in a shallow grave.
The investigation into Tariji's death and 2011 the death of her brother, 2-month-old Tavontae Gordon, are ongoing.
