GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. -

Heather Jensen is now in Mesa County Jail.

Jensen was released from Lee County Jail and has made the trip back to Grand Junction. 

 Jensen was arrested in Florida where she was staying with her mother and is facing various charges that stem from the deaths of her two young boys, Tyler and William who died of hyperthermia near Powderhorn in November.

According to the Sheriff's office, Jensen faces charges of two counts of child abuse resulting in death, acts of criminal negligence, criminally negligent homicide and charges of making false reports to authorities.

Jensen is currently eligible for release after posting bond.

Her bond is now set at one hundred and fifty thousand dollars
