Texas suspect's neighbor heard ‘loud scratching’ days before boy’s body found

A neighbor of the woman charged in the disappearance of a 5-year-old Houston boy reportedly heard “loud scratching through the wall” just days before his body was believed to be found in a motel room.

The next day, Schultz said she heard strange noises coming from her neighbor’s apartment. "The second day we were here, it was probably about 3 or 4 o’clock in the morning, we heard loud scratching noises, really, really loud," she told the outlet."It lasted for a good 10 or 15 minutes. I was like, ‘Baby, I’m scared.’ He [Andrew] was like, ‘It’s OK.’ He started banging on the wall to try and make it go away," Schultz continued."I’ve heard loud scratching from animals before and it wasn’t that, I don’t believe they had animals. We didn’t hear any other noises, it was strange."
