A truck driver from Leominster played a big part in solving the mystery of the boy found dead in Maine over the weekend.

Truck driver Stephen Scipione had been following the case of Camden Pierce Hughes closely. He called police Wednesday when he noticed a pick-up truck at a Chelmsford rest stop matching the truck described on TV and seen last Saturday in South Berwick.

“As soon as I drove in, I noticed a blue Toyota with ‘Navy’ around the back plate. So, I pulled over and just checked it out to see what was in it and (saw) a lady laying down in the front seat. That’s when I decided to call 911,” said Scipione.

Scipione said the blue pickup truck caught his eye because it was parked in an area with other tractor trailers, rather than with passenger cars.

CONCORD, Mass. (CBS) — Julianne McCrery was taken into custody by Massachusetts State Police Wednesday morning at a rest area in Chelmsford. It was the truck she was driving that got their attention. It was a blue Toyota Tacoma with an extended cab and Navy insignia on the license plate. It was the same truck someone in South Berwick, Maine said they saw hours before finding the body of a little boy on the side of a road.

McCrery was taken to the State Police barracks in Concord for questioning, and that’s where sources say she admitted to killing her son, Camden Pierce Hughes, saying she gave him an overdose of medication.

McCrery is from Irving, Texas and has a criminal history in Texas where she’s been arrested several times. Her most recent arrest was in 2009 when she was charged with prostitution. She was also arrested in 2004 for possession of a controlled substance with intent to distribute and in 2003 for prostitution. Those two cases were dismissed.
According to Dallas County family court it ordered biological testing in 2006 and found Camden’s father is Phillip Robinette. In a handwritten letter from jail Robinette denies being Camden’s father. In 2005 the same court found McCrery in contempt in a case that involved non-payment of child support.

McCrery is also the author of the book “Goodnight, Sleep Tight,” which is a book about overcoming sleep problems. In the “About the Author” section it says she was born in San Jose, Calif. in 1969 and made her home in Dallas since the early 1980s. It also says she has two (sons), one who is in the U.S. Navy and the other who is much younger, referring to Camden.

I couldn't believe that a terrible man would do this. A child-rapist? Perhaps his abusive dad? A sick neighbor?

Oh, it was his MOM?

Poor woman. Probably under a lot of stress. Maybe a victim of abuse herself. If she had only reached out for help...

No young child should go through this.
My prayers are with him.
He was such a cute little guy,and to have such a cruel mother.

“She kept saying it over and over again – I want to die.”

Because she'd been caught.

What was she doing so far from home and why did the truck driver know to look for her car? Guess I missed the background on this.

The haunting photo of this child, which ran in all of our newspapers up here when authorities were trying to identify him, touched many a heart. Everyone guessed that family “from away” did this to him still but hurt to hear the news. RIP little fellow.

What is it with these people?
