Mom found guilty of murdering 3-year-old in Delaware false amber alert case
The mother of Nola Dinkins was found guilty of murdering her 3-year-old daughter, who was falsely reported to be kidnapped in Delaware in June 2025, according to court records.
Darrian Randle was found guilty by a Maryland jury of first-degree murder and two counts of child abuse for the death of Dinkins, who was falsely reported to be missing after an abduction in Newark, Delaware, prosecutors said.
The amber alert set off a dayslong search for the girl, but Randle eventually admitted to beating Dinkins to death in Maryland and then tried to fake a kidnapping, officials said at the time.
Human remains that were consistent with an emaciated child and completely wrapped in saran wrap were ultimately found n a suitcase in the area of Dune Drive in North East, Cecil County, Maryland, officials said.
Randle’s boyfriend, Cedrick Britten, is also facing charges in the case and has yet to go to trial.
Randle remains in custody and will be sentenced on Oct. 2, 2026, according to court records.
Darrian Randle allegedly admitted to beating her 3-year-old daughter Nola Dinkins to death before putting the girl’s body in a suitcase. NBC10’s Tim Furlong speaks with neighbors of the woman’s boyfriend, who police say helped her hide the body.
