Prosecutor: Dad admitted dropping 4-month-old baby in Little Miami River
Infant reported missing Sunday night

LOVELAND, Ohio -- A father charged with murder in his infant daughter's death admitted he dropped the girl in the Little Miami River, a Clermont County assistant prosecutor said Tuesday morning.

Charles Crawford, 24, reported 4-month-old Kaylynn Crawford missing Sunday night, claiming she was abducted from the back seat of his car.

Police found her remains Monday afternoon on the banks of the Little Miami not far from where Crawford reported the abduction, according to Savalas Kidd of the Ohio Bureau of Criminal investigation. Autopsy results are still pending.

At a bond hearing Tuesday morning, Crawford said very little and did not enter a plea. Family members had no comment. A Clermont County judge set his bond at $2 million and ordered him to stay away from anyone less than 18 years old.

Clermont County Assistant Prosecutor Dottie Smith said Crawford admitted to dropping Kaylynn into the river.

Crawford's Criminal History

Crawford has a criminal history of abuse, court documents indicate. According to court records dated Dec. 26, 2015, Crawford made threats and physically harmed a family member. The victim’s testimony claims Crawford proclaimed there was an emergency to get her into his car before getting on southbound I-75 and saying, “B**ch, I came to put a f**cking knife to your neck.”

The document also alleges that Crawford said, “I’m taking you as far down in Kentucky where no one can find you and you can’t get to a phone.”

That same victim said she leapt from the car when it slowed, but eventually she got back in and Crawford took them back to Cincinnati. “I gave him the baby because I feared what he’ll do if he didn’t get her,” the victim wrote in the affidavit.

Court records show Crawford was put on probation and had to complete an anger management class. Additionally, he received a ticket in March for failing to have a child restrained in a car.

Finding Kaylynn's Remains

"This clearly is not the outcome that we were hoping and praying for today," Loveland Police Chief Dennis Sean Rahe said at a news conference Monday afternoon.

Loveland police said Crawford reported his daughter was missing at about 8:40 p.m. Sunday. He told police she was taken from his car in the parking lot of a Dollar General store on Loveland Madeira Road while he was inside the store. Kidd said Monday afternoon that authorities now believe these claims to have been fabricated.

After Crawford called 911 to report his daughter's "kidnapping," crews initially searched the Kelley Nature Preserve late Sunday evening based on a cell phone ping that pointed them to that area. Police declined to say whose cell phone it was.

"I don't even know where I am ... my daughter's missing," Charles Crawford told dispatchers in the 911 call. "My child's been taken."

Authorities issued an Ohio statewide alert for the missing infant Monday morning. Ohio's Bureau of Criminal Investigations took the lead, with the FBI and local police departments assisting in the search.

At about 3 p.m. Monday, officials were dispatched to the Little Miami River near the intersection of Glendale-Milford Road and Beech Road.

By 5 p.m. Monday, Kidd confirmed that the search had recovered Kaylynn's body and car seat, both of which were found along the riverbank. Kaylynn's mother and other family members were notified of the discovery. Kaylynn lived in Mount Healthy with her mother, police said, but her father had custody Sunday.

Crawford is housed in the Clermont County Jail, according to police.

Mentally ill mom whose dead son was found decomposing charged with murder

updated August 03, 2016 at 6:16 PM

DETROIT -- A woman has been charged in the mysterious May death of her 3-year-old son, whose body was found alone, at home, long after he'd died.

A maintenance worker found the boy's decomposing body inside a Detroit apartment May 25.

The mother, 28-year-old Deanna Shanta Minor, was later identified by police as a patient in a psychiatric hospital.


Wayne County Prosecutor Kym Worthy on Wednesday, Aug. 3 charged Minor with multiple felonies stemming from the death of her son, Aaron Minor, including felony murder resulting from child abuse, second-degree murder, first-degree child abuse, second-degree child abuse and failure to report a dead body.

A foul odor drew an employee of Madison Estates apartment complex on Trumbull Avenue in Detroit to the apartment about 3 p.m., May 25. He entered and found the child's decomposed body in a bed.

Mom finds her 3-month-old baby dead and bleeding in crib: cops
By Amanda Woods and Caroll Alvarado
June 18, 2017 | 2:15am | Updated

A Queens mom said she found her 3-month-old boy dead in his crib Saturday morning, cops said.

Little Ziare Reefe was unresponsive at their home on Falcon Avenue in Bays*water, cops said.

He was pronounced dead at St. John’s Episcopal Hospital.

Mom Quanesha Hale, 37, told The Post she had put him to bed in his crib, and when she awoke, he was “bleeding from the nose and looking purple . . . I tried to give him CPR but he wasn’t moving.”

Officials are investigating.

When Reefe’s older brother, Zaquan Hale, 17, arrived, his mother had blood on her nose as well. :rolleyes:

“She was trying to give the baby CPR and was trying to press on his chest,” Hale said.

“My mom takes so much care of us,” said Hale, who lives in the apartment with another brother, who is younger than he is, and the mother’s boyfriend.

“She’s the type of person who wouldn’t even go to sleep without checking that all the doors are locked.”

“I wasn’t expecting to come home to find out my brother died,” Hale added. “I don’t know what to feel.”

FORT WALTON BEACH, Fla. — A Florida woman has been sentenced to life in prison for killing her newborn baby.

The Northwest Florida Daily News reports that an Okaloosa County judge sentenced Tonisha Lache Crowell on Wednesday after jurors found her guilty of first-degree murder.

Authorities say Crowell’s baby daughter was found dead inside a plastic trash bag in February 2014. The bag had been in a ditch outside a home Crowell shared with five others.

Prosecutors say Crowell purposely hid the pregnancy because she was planning to dispose of her child.

LAS VEGAS (FOX5) -

The mother of a 3-year-old girl whose body was found in a duffel bag at an east valley apartment was arrested Friday, according to Las Vegas Metro police.

Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department Homicide Lt. Ray Spencer said the girl was reported missing just before 9 p.m. Thursday in the 6800 block of East Lake Mead Boulevard, near Hollywood Boulevard. Initial reports claimed the mother, later identified as 29-year-old Aisha Thomas, was walking to Albertson's with her four children and was on the phone when one of her children went missing.

Detectives from Metro Police's Missing Persons Detail responded and began searching the neighborhood. Detectives set up a command post in the parking lot of the Albertson's for additional resources, Spencer said. Officers began looking for the girl inside Thomas's apartment but were unable to find the child at first.

According to Spencer, officers then conducted a second search since Thomas's story began showing inconsistencies. During the second search, officers noticed a heavy duffel bag inside the master bedroom's closet that was "emitting a mildew smell."

Spencer said the officers found garbage bags when they opened the duffel bag. After officers opened the garbage bags, they found the body of the missing 3-year-old.

Thuds from punches :rolleyes:were audible through the walls of an apartment, prompting a concerned citizen to call police.

This time, on Sept. 19, was about the 10th occasion the person reporting had heard a domestic-disturbance-related commotion coming from the apartment and decided to finally speak up.

So, Metro Police showed up to investigate the claims, but a woman and a man there denied any abuse had taken place, and the officers left.

A month later, a 1-year-old boy was dead, fatally injured in the same location officers had responded to at the Pinewood Crossing Apartments, 764 Twain Ave., near Swenson Street, according to an arrest report.

Robert Aaron Smith, who was tasked :mad:with caring for the boy, called 911 about 9:20 a.m. Oct. 9 to report a child in distress, police said.

Injuries throughout the boy’s little body included rib fractures and internal bleeding from a broken liver and spine hemorrhaging, police said. He died at Sunrise Hospital and Medical Center.

Brianna Brown, 24, the boy’s mother, who wasn’t present when first responders arrived, and Smith, 29, are accused of child abuse, police said. Smith is facing an additional count of murder.

The couple provided inconsistent and conflicting accounts — including about their relationship — and weren’t able to explain how a 1-year-old could suffer such injuries, according to the report.

Family members of Trinity Love Jones, the 9-year-old girl found deceased and stuffed in a duffel bag on a trail in Hacienda Heights, are mourning the loss of the little girl they said brought so much joy into the world.

Now they want answers. They want to know why the girl was allowed to be in the custody of her mother, Taquesta Graham, who is a registered sex offender. They also want to know more about Graham's boyfriend, Emiel Hunt.

Authorities confirmed Sunday that two persons of interest have been detained. Family members told KTLA that was Graham and Hunt.

"It's more than just the mother and the boyfriend. We have to get to the bottom of it," one family member said. "We need justice. We need to figure it out. It wasn't supposed to happen like this to no one. Everybody deserves and answer."

Trinity's father, Antonio Jones, posted an emotional video on Facebook.

'She was a little angel': Neighbors mourn 5-year-old girl police say was murdered by her father
Updated: 10:36 PM MDT Apr 5, 2019

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. —

A man has been arrested after police say he beat his 5-year-old daughter to death.

According to a criminal complaint, 36-year-old Brandon Reynolds told police he became enraged after his daughter, Sarah Dubois-Gilbeau, didn’t want to do her homework, that “he didn’t know what came over him” and “that’s when the discipline set in.”

He told police he started spanking her and “blacked out,” the complaint states.

He eventually called 911 and reported that Dubois-Gilbeau had gone into cardiac arrest. When emergency crews arrived, they attempted to revive the girl before she was transported to UNMH, where she was pronounced dead.

The complaint states that when officers arrived, they noticed blood stains on the living room wall and carpet.

A neighbor told police she heard Reynolds yelling, “'Get up!’ followed by sounds of someone or something being struck.”

When officers arrived to the hospital, they observed severe bruising all over the Dubois-Gilbeau's body. The bruising, police said, was consistent with the tread from a shoe.

Reynolds is being charged with child abuse resulting in death.

NYC mom with suspected Munchausen syndrome by proxy busted for poisoning 4-year-old: cops​

Published Oct. 27, 2023, 5:49 p.m. ET






A Bronx mom poisoned her toddler daughter with “life-threatening levels” of seizure meds — in a suspected case of the bizarre Munchausen syndrome by proxy, cops and police sources say.
Tajahnae Brown, 23, was charged Friday with first-degree assault for allegedly making 190 trips to various providers seeking the unnecessary drugs for her 4-year-old, officials and prosecutors said.
Authorities believe that Brown suffers of Munchausen’s syndrome by proxy, a condition in which people are known to fabricate or induce illness in someone under their care, usually a child, sometimes to gain attention, police sources said.
The deeply troubling ordeal began May 2, when Brown brought her then-3-year-old daughter to Montefiore Medical Center, claiming the child was on seizure medication and needed more, police said.
“She made repeated statements that the child needed the meds that got the staff to administer more doses,” a police source said.

Before long, the staff realized the girl had “toxic levels” of the drugs in her blood, cops said.


She was “being poisoned by the meds,” the source said.


Hospital staff informed Brown of the obvious overdose and took the child off the medication, cops said.


The young girl then continued to stay with her mother at the hospital, where her drug levels went down but then spiked again, cops said.


During that time, Brown appears to have continued to “discretely administer the meds to life-threatening levels,” the source said.

The hospital called the Bronx District Attorney’s Office, which reached out to the NYPD, cops said.


An investigation determined the mom had made 190 trips to various providers to get her child the same excessive, harmful, drug prescriptions, cops said.





Brown gave “the same spiel” to the medical providers, the source said.


The mother, who has no prior criminal record, was granted supervised released with electronic monitoring at her arraignment on Friday night at Bronx Criminal Court.
