Grace Packer's Mother, Accused Of Daughter's Murder, On Suicide Watch In Prison: Report

The woman charged with killing her teen daughter from Abington is on suicide watch in Bucks County Prison, according to a report.

The Morning Call reports Sara Packer's attorney Keith J. Williams says she's on suicide watch and is "devastated" by the allegations.

Sara Packer and her boyfriend, Jacob Sullivan, are accused of killing her adoptive daughter, Grace, by beating, raping, poisoning and strangling her in Richland Township over an 18-hour period in July.

Packer is charged with homicide, kidnapping, unlawful restraint, possessing instruments of crime, endangering the welfare of a child, abuse of corpse, simple assault, tampering with physical evidence, and conspiracy to commit rape and each of the above crimes. The Bucks County District Attorney announced the charges on Jan. 8.

According to authorities, after raping and killing the teen, Packer and Sullivan then dismembered the 14-year-old girl's body and dumped it in a wooded area in Bear Creek Township, Luzerne County.

Grace had been reported missing last July in Montgomery County. Her remains were found by two hunters on Oct. 31.

A memorial service for Grace was held in Abington on Monday, as hundreds of members of the community gathered to pay tribute. The service was organized by five area mothers, who have also launched a foundation in Grace's honor, called On Gracie's Wings.
