(Muskegon, MI) – The trial of a Norton Shores mother charged with killing her 15-year-old special needs son has begun. Timothy Ferguson was found dead in their basement on July 6, 2022 and Shanda Vander Ark is charged with first degree murder and child abuse. Timothy moved in with his mother and older brother Paul Ferguson in May 2021 after his biological father said she needed to take him or he was going to surrender the teen to state child services in Oklahoma.
Paul will testify against his mother and is also facing charges in his brother’s death.
