Birth Mother of Dead Abington Teen Says Adopted Mother is 'Evil': Report

The birth mother of the Abington teen who was found dead and dismembered has reportedly come forward, calling her adoptive mother "evil." NBC 10 reports that Rose Hunsicker, the birth mother of 14-year-old Grace Packer, expressed dismay that the system could have left her daughter in the hands of Grace's adoptive mother Sara Packer and her ex-husband, convicted child predator David Packer.

Grace Packer was found by hunters in the woods in Luzerne County on October 31, authorities said. She had gone missing from her Abington home on July 11. She was so badly dismembered that authorities had to wait until dental records came back to confirm the identify of the remains they recovered.

Hunsicker said that her daughter was taken from her by protective services in 2004, the report states. She had hoped that the move would give her daughter a chance for a better life.

Sara Packer faces child endangerment charges in the disappearance of Grace, and is considered a person of interest in the case, authorities said. However, she is not being charged with murder or kidnapping.

Police held her for a time after the remains of her daughter were identified last week, but she was released on $10,000 bail, court documents show.

Police said that Sara Packer reported her daughter missing the day after she went missing, but that she stopped cooperating with police shortly thereafter. Authorities allege that it took her months to provide them with a photo of Grace.

The PA Megan's Law Database shows that David Packer pleaded guilty to sexually assaulting a child in 2011. He is now considered a sexually violent predator.

Sara and Grace were in the process of moving from Abington to Quakertown, where Sara now resides, when Grace went missing. According to police, they had an argument on the night Grace disappeared.

The investigation is ongoing. Authorities from Bucks, Montgomery, and Luzerne counties are working with the FBI on the case.
