Maliyah Bass' body was put in storm drain, prosecutors say | khou.com
Ugh. From the article linked in the above tweet:
Warning! Graphic details follow...
According to court records, the autopsy showed Maliyah had a broken left forearm and extensive superficial blunt force trauma in the form of looped-pattern bruising all over her body. The medical examiner believes she was beaten with either an extension cord-like object or a hanger-like object.
The police investigation found Maliyah was last seen alive on security video at 12:40 a.m. on Aug. 20.
...
[Thompson] told police she beat her daughter with a hair brush on Aug. 20 because she was crying and would not go to sleep. Records say they then put her in a broom closet, naked. When they woke up on Aug. 21, Maliyah was dead.
Maliyah's body was dumped in storm drain, mom's boyfriend told police
If that poor sweet baby was put in a storm drain what was she floating on down the bayou? I’m sure it was reported she was found on a float aid ?
What security video was Maliyah last seen alive on at 12:40 am, I wonder?
Poor baby.
Maliyah's maternal grandmother reacts to her daughter's arrest on Fox 26 news video. She is appalled at all the lies her daughter told her, how she kept changing the story, and the dramatic grief performances put on by her daughter and bf. She is feeling a lot of guilt..it appears that she regrets not being able to be there for Maliyah near the end (she told Sahara she needed a few months, whatever that means). She wants justice for Maliyah, even if that means her daughter being responsible.
Maliyah Bass' mother and her boyfriend charged in girl's death; grandmother speaks
It almost sounds like Maliyah's mother probably asked for grandma to help around, to watch her, who knows. It's totally understandable that grandma needed time for herself, we don't really know her situation, maybe she was going through some rough times (who isn't?). It's not the grandmother's fault, at all. I feel bad for her and Maliyah's father, they cared about this poor baby.
The only person saying that was her mom.
I also think she was commenting on the retrieval aid.
It says the boyfriend had five convictions since 2017, including assault with a deadly weapon while he was on probation. He should never have been let out of jail.Grandma speaks more, but especially interesting was mother Sahara said to victim advocate.
‘I want to hurt them both:’ Mother of man linked to death of Maliyah Bass says they deserves to be in jail
So mom's flopped on the ground howling and Travion ignores her, runs right past her and up the hill, immortalizing the moment he decided to throw her under the bus. IMO they both knew they weren't going to get away with it. MOO.ABC13-Mycah Hatfield
