LANDOVER, Md. (WJLA) — A mother and daughter were arrested after the family’s grandmother was found dead in a Landover, Md. home, police said.
On Friday, Prince George’s County police officers responded to the 200 block of Hill Road for a welfare check on 71-year-old Margaret Craig.

Upon arrival at the home, police said 44-year-old Candace Craig, the daughter of Margaret Craig opened the door. She allowed the officers access to the home and they immediately noticed the smell of decomposition in the basement, police explained.
The Homicide and Evidence Units were notified and assumed the investigation. Further investigation led police to determine that Candace murdered her mother on May 23, and had her 19-year-old daughter Salia Hardy help her attempt to dispose of the remains, according to detectives.
Police are still working on identifying a motive for the alleged murder. Candace Craig is charged with first and second-degree murder. Salia Hardy is charged with accessory after the fact. Both are in the custody of the Department of Corrections.
If anyone has information relevant to this investigation, they are asked to please call detectives at 301-516-2512.

University of Maryland Medical System a Finalist in the Gartner® Power of the Profession™ Supply Chain Awards 2025
System’s Gallion Proprietary Digital Solution Developed at its iHarbor Innovation Center
BALTIMORE, January 07, 2025–(BUSINESS WIRE)–The University of Maryland Medical System (UMMS) has been selected as a finalist in the Gartner Power of the Profession Supply Chain Awards 2025, in the Process or Technology Innovation of the Year category. UMMS is included for Transforming Bill-Only Product Management in Healthcare Supply Chain; the System’s Gallion is a digital technology cutting-edge solution designed to optimize supply chain efficiency that was developed by UMMS’ iHarbor Innovation Center.
“We believe that being included as a finalist in the Gartner awards underscores the critical impact that UMMS has demonstrated so far in optimizing health care bill-only supply chain management and that it could have in the future on patient care,” said Warren D’Souza, PhD, MBA, the System’s Senior Vice President and Chief Innovation Officer. “In our opinion, this recognition validates our focus on streamlining processes and empowering health systems with innovative, integrated solutions.”
Gallion’s innovative solution redefines the management of bill-only transactions by digitizing and standardizing workflows, enhancing accuracy, compliance, and efficiency. The platform seamlessly integrates with electronic health record (EHR) and enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems, automating critical tasks such as consumption tracking, charges and contract compliance. Before Gallion’s implementation in 2021 automated these processes, UMMS relied on a manual labor-intensive paper-based process that had the potential for errors and inefficiencies. Data from the deployment of Gallion across UMMS’ 11 hospitals shows significant operational improvements; completion time has been reduced by 75% and the defect/error rate has lowered from 18% to just 3%.
“At UMMS, part of what we pride ourselves on is innovation and being at the forefront of transformative change in health care,” said Mohan Suntha, MD, MBA, the System’s President and Chief Executive Officer. “We believe this recognition underscores Gallion’s impact as a pioneering solution in health care supply chain innovation.”
Gallion was developed in iHarbor, a wholly-owned subsidiary and the innovation center of UMMS. iHarbor is now bringing Gallion to the market, enabling other hospitals and health systems to realize similar benefits. The enterprise platform offers robust analytics, giving supply chain teams unparalleled insight into cost management, contract competitiveness and compliance, and clinical quality outcomes.
