The mother of a 2-year-old girl murdered and thrown into Boston Harbor two years ago returns to the stand Tuesday.

Rachelle Bond is the main witness in the murder trial of her former boyfriend, Michael McCarthy.

The defense is trying to undermine Bond's testimony by focusing on how she has changed the account of how her daughter Bella died.
