  Mom ordered to stand trial in daughter’s death

  An Ypsilanti Township mother accused of killing her 3-year-old daughter told a sheriff’s investigator she didn’t know when to stop hitting the child because she never said “ouch,” the detective testified in court Wednesday.

  Washtenaw Sheriff’s Detective Craig Raisanen also said LaToya Joplin told him “she was the one who was abused when she disciplined Kayla, because she would strike her to the point that her hand was throbbing. She was the one to endure pain. She blamed her daughter.”

  Kayla Joplin died early July 17 from a torn right atrium in her heart, a Washtenaw County medical examiner testified in 14A District Court Wednesday.
  LaToya Joplin is accused of open murder, felony murder and first-degree child abuse in the death. Joplin, who cried silently through part of the hearing, was ordered Wednesday to stand trial on the charges.

  This happened recently in the same state that we live in. This bitch has been charged in the child’s murder.

  FAYETTEVILLE, N.C. (AP) — The body of an 11-month-old girl reported missing after her father returned from deployment to Iraq was found in the attic of her Harnett County home, authorities said Saturday.
  Citing Harnett County authorities, WRAL-TV in Raleigh reported on its website that the remains of Harmony Jude Creech were found Saturday afternoon.

  Neither Sheriff Larry Rollins nor Maj. Gary McNeill could be reached for comment Saturday night.

  Police said Harmony’s mother, Johni Michelle Heuser, told investigators she found the girl dead in her crib several weeks ago, the television station reported. Police said Heuser concealed her daughter’s death out of fear and did not tell anybody, the report said.

  Rollins said investigators were still interviewing Heuser, and the investigation continues.

  FIND MORE STORIES IN: Iraq | Police | NC | Body | Harmony Jude Creech | Harnett County | Johni Michelle Heuser
  An autopsy will be performed on the child’s body to determined how she died, police said.

  Harmony’s father, Ronald Earl Creech II, returned from a deployment in Iraq Friday hoping to see his daughter. Harmony was born while he was overseas, police said. Creech is a assigned to the 82nd Airborne Division, which is based at Fort Bragg.

  Rollins said Creech was picked up at Pope Air Force Base on Friday by his mother and driven to his daughter’s home near Spring Lake. They awakened the baby’s mother and found the baby missing.

  McNeill had said a window in the baby’s room was open and the screen was missing.

  It’s a story about a man separated with his wife and kills not only himself but his two daughters. This happened Thursday December 13th. In it at the end is also two more stories that occurred in San Antonio in two weeks about a child being murdered by their parent.

  I heard of a little baby girl named Lonon Marie Sherwood that was shaken to death by her own father. The mothers name is Jessica Sherwood and I forgot the Dad’s name. Apparently Jessica dropped London off with the dad and never came back. Again, that is just what I heard.

  ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla. (AP) — A woman pulled over for allegedly running a red light had a 24-pack of beer strapped in with a seat belt but had a 16-month-old girl unrestrained in the back seat of her car with the toddler’s mother, authorities said.

  Tina D. Williams, 46, was arrested Sunday after she was pulled over in St. Augustine. She was charged with driving under the influence, child abuse, possession of drug paraphernalia and driving without a valid license, a jail official said. Williams remained in the St. Johns County jail Tuesday after bail was set at $31,000. The jail did not have the name of her attorney.

  A 24-pack of Busch beer was strapped in the passenger-side seat belt, according to an arrest report.

  The girl was in the back seat with 20-year-old Amber Tedrick, who is the toddler’s mother. It was not clear if she would face any charges, but the child was released to her care, according to The Florida Times-Union.

  Williams said she didn’t know why the child wasn’t restrained.

  In a purse belonging to Williams, a deputy also found two metal pipes commonly used to smoke drugs, authorities said.

  Williams refused to take a breath test, the report said.

  I know that Williams was the driver but Amber Tedrick let that woman drive her child UNRESTRAINED and allowed her to buckle the beer up for safety and not her child! She should damn well be charged as well.

  Texas Father Questioned In Phila. On Baby’s Murder
  GALVESTON, Texas (AP) ― Texas investigators are in Philadelphia to question a man in custody after confessing to killing his infant son, whose body was found last week tossed onto the side of a Galveston road near his child safety seat.

  Galveston Police spokesman Lt. Jorge Trevino said Sunday that two detectives and two crime scene investigators flew to Philadelphia earlier in the day.

  The detectives were going to talk with anybody who had contact with Travis Mullis, the baby’s father. The crime scene investigators were going to look for any possible evidence in Mullis’ car, Trevino said.

  Mullis, 21, known as “T.J.,” surrendered to Philadelphia police Friday, telling them he placed the 3-month-old baby on the ground and then stomped on his head three or four times until he felt the skull collapsing, Trevino said.

  “We have a pretty clear picture of what happened based on (Mullis’) statements. But I can’t release those details without risking hurting the case,” Trevino said.

  Mullis has been charged with capital murder in Galveston and his bond has been set at $1 million. He also has a felony charge out of nearby Brazoria County of enticing a child. Alvin police are investigating an allegation that Mullis took an 8-year-old girl from her bed in January, took her to a school or park and asked her to remove her pants.

  Investigators still have more questions for the infant’s mother, who spoke with them after the baby’s body was found. But a family representative has stated she will not be talking to police after getting an attorney, Trevino said.

  “We have more questions for her in order to wrap up the investigation,” he said. “But she is not cooperating with that.”

  He said Sunday that he couldn’t comment on whether she’s considered a suspect.

  After attending a memorial service on Saturday for her son, the woman left the church, declining to talk to the reporters.

  During the service, she read from a letter she wrote to her son Alijah, the Houston Chronicle reported Sunday.

  “Mommy loves you so much,” she said. “Thank you so much for giving me the best three months of my life.”

  Neighbors of the family, who were living in a trailer with friends in Alvin, told the newspaper they had many unanswered questions about what happened.

  “The same question probably thousands of people got — Why? No matter how much anger you have for somebody, you don’t go to the point of doing that, especially to a baby,” said neighbor James Robertson.

  The couple apparently were having financial and relationship problems and often argued, said Robertson’s wife, Lisa.
  Trevino said the couple had argued Monday night before the infant’s death but that it had not carried over to the next morning, when Mullis left with the baby.

  A Galveston couple found the body Tuesday morning as they drove slowly along a road looking for wildlife. DNA tests are pending to positively identify the infant.
  Galveston detectives planned to return on Tuesday.

  But Mullis’ return to Texas, according to Sgt. Ray Evers, a spokesman with the Philadelphia Police Department, could take several weeks, depending on whether he waives extradition during a court hearing, The Galveston County Daily News reported Sunday.
