A judge in Prince William Circuit Court Friday ordered that the woman charged in the death of her 13-year-old adopted daughter undergo mental health evaluations.
Alfreedia Leona Gregg-Glover, 44, is charged with felony murder, first-degree murder, felony child abuse and filing a false police report in connection with the death of Alexis “Lexie” Glover.
Gregg-Glover’s attorney John Notarriani Friday asked that she undergo two mental health evaluations: one to determine her sanity at the time of the alleged crime and one to determine her competency to stand trial.
Prince William Circuit Court Judge Mary Grace O’Brien ordered the evaluations.
Notarriani said he asked for the competency evaluation because of his “inability to communicate” with Gregg-Glover about her defense.
“Her current emotional state...renders her, in effect, unavailable to me at times when I try to talk to her,” Notarriani said.
Gregg-Glover reported Lexie missing from Central Library in Manassas on Jan. 7, sparking a massive search for the girl.
Her body was found in a shallow creek near the McCoart Administration building in Woodbridge two days later.
Prosecutors allege that Gregg-Glover placed the girl in the creek while she was still alive and before she reported her missing.
According to a medical examiner’s report, Lexie died of drowning and exposure to the cold.
Gregg-Glover is due back in court on May 8, when a judge will review the results of her mental health evaluations.
She is being held without bond at the Prince William-Manassas regional jail.
