But Sharp-Jefferson also told police that she lived alone and had no children, saying she didn’t even know Singleton, yet she woke up to find the two deceased babies in her apartment. The Daily Mail reported that the young mother told police someone planted the babies and all of their things, like toys and strollers, in the apartment.
Upon allegedly discovering the two dead babies in her home, she took a shower rather than calling the police. According to the arrest report, Sharp-Jefferson said she did that because she “likes showers.”
Singleton Statement
Singleton and Sharp-Jefferson had been together since 2018, according to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, who reported the arrest report said that Singleton told police Sharp-Jefferson had recently “started talking about the altar spirit world.”
She also had recently started accusing Singleton of cheating on her with “his spirit wife,” according to Fox 5. Yet Singleton said other than those unusual new utterings about the spiritual world, Sharp-Singleton seemed to be behaving normally.

According to Singleton, when he got home and realized the children were cold and unresponsive he said to Sharp-Jefferson, “What did you do to my daughters…what did you do to my daughters?”
He told Fox 5 he called his grandmother before calling 911, but during the time he was home before police arrived Sharp-Singleton was “super calm, cool, collected about it. Literally putting her clothes on, talking about can we sell the organs and stuff,” he said.
Singleton also said as of a few weeks ago Sharp-Jefferson, “was going through a spiritual, like a spiritual soul type thing where she thought she wasn’t in this reality. She was in a spiritual reality.”
