Missing toddler Quinton Simon's mother was arrested Monday for murder – nearly two months after the one-year-old vanished from the family's Savannah, Georgia, home under mysterious circumstances, officials announced.

Leilani Simon, 22, is enroute to the Chatham County Detention Center, where she will be held while she awaits a bond hearing, the Chatham County Police Department announced in a statement on Facebook.

No additional arrests are expected, police said. 

Simon reported Quinton missing Oct. 5, 2022, and days later she was named the prime suspect in his disappearance and death.

"Since that time, millions of people have followed Quinton’s case and have been awaiting answers," the police said in the statement. "We are deeply saddened by this case, but we are thankful that we are one step closer to justice for little Quinton."

Simon is charged with murder, concealing the death of another and falsely reporting a crime, records show.

The toddler's babysitter, Diana McCarta, previously told WHD News Digital that she believes the child may have accidentally drowned in the family's pool. 

MISSING GEORGIA TODDLER QUINTON SIMON LIKELY DEAD; POLICE NAME MOTHER AS 'PRIME SUSPECT'

Investigators, including specialists with the FBI, spent weeks combing through the landfill in search of the little boy's remains – a process that the police called "more grueling than anyone could have imagined."

As officials painstakingly combed through the city's trash Oct. 18, Simon's mom, grandmother and friends were spotted at Sting Ray's on Tybee Island downing top-shelf tequila shots.

"They were having a great time, like they didn’t have a care in the world," a server told the New York Post. "They were drinking Patrón shots in the deck area, being loud and laughing. It’s almost like they were trying to draw attention to themselves."

Quinton was last seen inside the family's Buckhalter Road home in Savannah, where he lived with his siblings, his mom, his mom's boyfriend and his maternal grandparents, authorities said.
