Police have identified the little girl known as “Baby Grace”, whose body washed ashore in a box last month near Galveston, Texas, and have arrested her mother and stepfather. Authorities believe she is actually 2 year old Riley Ann Sawyers who, according to her grandmother, Cheryl Sawyers, has been missing since June.
According to CNN.com:
The child’s mother, Kimberly Dawn Trenor, 19, and a man identified as her boyfriend, Royce Clyde Zeigler II, 24, were arrested Saturday on charges of injuring a child and tampering with physical evidence, the sheriff’s department said.
The couple lives in Spring, Texas, a Houston suburb about 75 miles north of Galveston.
Their bonds were set at $350,000 each.
The arrests followed searches conducted Saturday after a November 7 tip, the sheriff’s department said.
What I want to know is why are they not charging those two monsters with murder??? At the very least it should be child abuse resulting in death! What’s with the “injuring a child” crap? She was a lot more than just injured! Maybe they’re waiting for all the other evidence, including DNA evidence, to be confirmed before adding more charges. I’m thinking perhaps they used those far-too-lenient charges as a way to place them in custody. I hope those two get what they deserve — and it ain’t just life in prison!
