<p>Bonnie Katherine Joslin, 35, pleaded guilty Tuesday to murder, auto theft, false informing and identity deception. A Madison County judge set the New Castle woman’s sentencing for June 2. </p>
<p>Mona Joslin Davis’ body was found inside plastic bags in her Anderson apartment in June 2019, two weeks after the 53-year-old was slain, authorities said. </p>

<p>When police found Joslin in New Castle one day after her mother’s body was discovered, she maintained that her mother had moved to Florida a few weeks earlier, according to court documents.</p>
<p>Joslin also allegedly called Madison County emergency dispatchers a few days after her mother’s slaying, claimed she was her mother and said she was en route to Florida.</p>
