DUBUQUE, Iowa - A Dubuque mom charged with felony child neglect is demanding a speedy trial.

Police arrested Tamelia Harris last month after her 22-month-old daughter disappeared. Police later found what they believe are the bones of a small child in Harris's backyard.

Investigators are still waiting for the state medical examiner to identity the bones before they file any additional charges.
