OMAHA, Neb. (AP) - An Omaha woman charged in the homicide of her 12-year-old son had called a caseworker in March to ask about placing the boy in foster care.

An official with the Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services on Friday confirmed the call placed by 46-year-old Angela Manns. Manns was arraigned Thursday in Douglas County Court on a first-degree murder charge in the death of 12-year-old Michael Belitz.

Douglas County Attorney Don Kleine says investigators found the boy's body in a bathtub with his wrists and legs bound together with duct tape.

Health and Human Services says Manns left a message at the end of March asking about foster care and other options. The agency says the caseworker called back and left a message but didn't hear back from Manns.
