Thanks for the update on this sad case.

I am in no way blaming anyone but this piece of crap that killed her, but why why why did the mother tell this ticking time bomb that she had seen another man naked? Didn't she know that would set him off? I feel so bad for this family. God bless Trinity.

According to the articles, he saw text messages.

In the link above, he says that he killed his daughter because he didn't want to see his girlfriend move on to someone else without him. Other man or no other man, sounds like he was jealous of the baby.

Yeah, Rains. That's one way to secure a girl's love and affection for sure. Kill her child. She'll love you forever. :furious:

What a wacko.

I'm wondering if he forced her to say she had. Because they were arguing for hours. He may have had her to a point that she thought he would kill her if she didn't say something. I dont know but whatever happened there it looks beyond words could ever explain. Again I just feel awful for the family. What a horror to ever have to burden. My prayers go out to them.

With threats or without, with a gun or without, prolonged sessions of mental pressure and abuse can force a woman to confess to a lots of things that never took place. Personal experience....

Wow, I wouldn't have given that psycho any acknowledgment he helped create a life he eventually took.

I totally freaking agree, he does not deserve for a second to be in the obituary for the child he killed! My GOD, he's just the SPERM DONOR - the equivalent of a turkey baster! He EXECUTED this poor infant!!
