GUILTY VA - Ariellisa Simmons, 2, Richmond, 5 Nov 2015

FWIW, There is a "fundme" set up to cover ArielLisa's burial costs, saying she was murdered in Richmond.

Oh no

 

[1&2&3]

Just really odd that husband and child's father did not report either one missing.

Probably time to check into father and see why he did not want LE involved. Why else would he not report them missing?

Fly high little one.

FWIW, ArielLisa's family is posting on FB that it is her. They have set up a "fundme" page to cover burial costs.

The timeframe certainly seems to fit. But there's been no mention about ariellisa being found, deceased at that, in the media. Strange the family(?) claims it's her. Hope to hear some kind of update soon.

The family could have been told privately before any information is released to the public.

Maybe he wasn't involved in his daughter's life so he wouldn't have noticed if she and her mom were missing?

But she was the stepmother, not the child's mother. Sounds like the dad had custody. I wonder if he was either incarcerated or in the military and the stepmom was taking care of the little girl while he was away.

 

[Faithandhope]

But I wonder where her biological mother is?? She was supposedly wth step mom (Andrea), but where are bio mom and dad? Grandparents? Aunts/uncles?

Missing Richmond woman, last seen with 2-year-old, arrested on abduction charges

The missing stepmother of a Richmond two-year-old has been found and arrested in New York City on abduction charges.

Richmond Police confirm Andrea Watkins-Simmons, who was last seen with two-year-old Ariellisa Simmons, is currently in police custody in New York City.

In December, Richmond Police said Watkins-Simmons was missing with her two-year-old stepdaughter Ariellisa. At the time, Police said Ariellisa was in Watkins-Simmons custody, but was not considered missing.

RPD have not said whether the abduction charges are related to Ariellisa or has the child has been located.

I am completely confused, was the child that was found deceased Ariellisa or not? As far as I can find, she is still listed as missing and the stepmother is only charged with abduction.

LE has not confirmed whether she is or isn't yet.

“The only thing that really loved me was my daughter,” he said fighting through tears. “And I loved her.”

HEARTBREAKING.
