After reading the newspaper articles and her facebook page, I can not help believe that this was nothing but a horrible accident. i think she panicked and placed him where she did so that he would be found quickly. The whole situation is sad.
If that were true, then what is the reason that she was in New England? Her older son is out of Norfolk, VA.

anyone have the video handy of her being taken into the hospital?
So she told various lies as to where they were, at work, sick, Boston for a funeral. What was she planning on telling people when she got home and they started asking where the baby was? This reminds me a bit of Casey except at least this mother fessed up to LE
He was in school I imagine she called him out sick or said they were going on vacation but eventually wouldn't they have wondered why he never came back?
Good points Lorin. The way this seems now, she gave plausible-sounding excuses for both her and Camden to be absent from TX. And yet all of those excuses would have had an "end date" when he would be back in school, she would be back around, etc. So IMO in her mind this was a one-way voyage.
The focus on NH indicates that this is where she ODed him. I wonder if she had not been caught, would she have committed suicide somewhere along the route back to TX?
My heart aches for beautiful little Camden (also the name of a town in Maine). I am only glad that LE was able to give him his name back in death.

I don't buy the accidental overdose one bit. I would like to know how much she "accidentally" gave him. If it hadn't been that long since his death, I'm sure there is a way to find out. And who in their right mind gives a child Nyquil??? It is not for children. Nyquil contains acetaminophen so I'm guessing that's what caused death.
The maximum recommended daily dose of acetaminophen is 4 g in adults and 90 mg/kg in children. Toxicity is associated with a single acute APAP ingestion of 150 mg/kg or approximately 7-10 g in adults. The ingested amount at which toxicity may occur may be lower in the settings of chronic ethanol use, malnourishment, or diminished nutritional status, fasting, or viral illness with dehydration, or if substances or medications that are known to induce the activity of the CYP oxidative enzymes are being used. When dosing recommendations are followed, the risk of hepatotoxicity is extremely small.
I'm quite certain it would take more than a few spoonfuls to OD a child. From everything I've been able to read online, it's stated it would take 3 whole bottles to OD an adult.
