Police find body of 2-year-old Amari Nicholson, grandmother speaks out - KRDO

Carrie Howard, who lives in Salida, Colorado, is Amari's grandmother. After the murder charge was filed, Howard spoke about the overwhelming emotion she felt.

Howard says, "I’m broken, this is the worst pain I’ve ever felt in my life." She adds, "I just want to bury my grandson. At least let him have that last moment in peace and not in terror, but it’s just time to wait and see what they can get out of him (Rhodes)."

The grandmother believes Rhodes is guilty of murdering her only grandson. She says, "He’s violent and he’s on drugs, and you know so he did it because the baby peed his pants." Howard adds, "He admitted that he did it, because he peed his pants, and I’m told there’s a video of him actually doing it that the police found on deleted files on his phone."

Unexpected. Surprised. Who would have thought??

buried? how? ugh damn damn damn

In the first photo below, there is a pile of rock just in front of the alleyway where Amari's body was found. Could be a possibility that the body was concealed under rock... ?

Is this the mother whose daughter was in foster care for most of her life?

I believe so but I somehow missed the link(s) about Tayler being in foster care. I've seen it mentioned here but don't know any details. I may need to read back... MOO

Mother's boyfriend faces murder charge in disappearance of 2-year-old Amari Nicholson

It is really amazing the TR was not shot during his arrest. He managed to get an officer's gun? Wow! And then it was "de-escalated"!!

That must have been some arrest.

 

[KALI]

Aw. Once again. I agree with you Katydid23.
Mr. Control, lost the control of his money maker. So the heartless "*advertiser censored* decided to show her".
The visuals of what this devil did to this baby boy are clear.
May he rot. Moo times a hundred times

He probably doesn't want anyone to see what kind of damage he did to the little guy.

Yes, she also said Amari was her only grandchild, no acknowledgement of the grandchild born when her daughter was 12.
CH said she’s known the Rhodes family for 12 years, TR is 27 so that means she has known them since he was 15 years old and TN was 9? (I think TN is 21 but I’m not sure)

I just saw Grandmas interview. She said she has known the Rhodes family for 12 years. She knew he was violent and warned Taylar about him. Also said he beat on Taylar and Amari and had reported this to CPS who took no action.

It makes me sick that she is now being holier than thou.

My question then... why did Taylar leave Amari with him? Why!!!!????

I think because Taylar grew up in the system, had been raised around abusive situations, grew up to be involved in abusive relationships, so it seemed 'normal' that her 2 yr old was beaten for wetting his pants.

I believe the grandmother would be considered a victim as far as WS is concerned.
Amari's mother is still considered a victim at this point. She had a rough childhood. Why is it okay that Amari was left in dangerous situations (because he mother was abused and for that reason couldn't protect him) but it's not okay that his mother was?
We don't know how the grandmother was raised or what she was subjected to as a child. Honestly it's none of our business. IMO this could be an ongoing multigenerational issue.
None of that IMO excuses what happened to Amari. Someone needed to protect this little boy.

I don’t think anyone is suggesting the grandmother’s family dysfunction killed anyone, after all, she’s not a suspect or POI, that’s all on TH.
No one made him kill a child.
There are, however, multiple comments on what is an acceptable display in public of grief, so I can only assume that’s okay to discuss.

And I agree with you, except that the nan is now speaking out and acting like her parenting had nothing to do with this child's death. It may be multigenerational, but she is blaming her daughter.

I don't blame Grandma for being angry. She bought her grandson an airline ticket so he could come home to see her but he was left alone with a violent abuser.

 

[Gibbo214]

Apparently her daughter knew that her abusive boyfriend had beaten her baby to death. She admitted to knowing about that murder before she even flew back home from CO. So Grandma is blaming her daughter for covering for her homicidal boyfriend, and sending the cops on a wild goose chase.

Is there proof that she knew that the babe was dead before she left?

It's out there, and will likely be picked up by msm very soon.

Source?

Because I’ve read what is on FB, where they post a photo of a PM written after he was arrested and the police had confirmed to the mother that her baby was dead, you have to make a stretch to interpret your claim from the PM, although that is exactly what is happening on FB.
There’s also a picture of her only fans some dude posted, claiming she’s working, but it’s nothing but the title page which is accessible 24/7.
The blaming of the mother for her child’s murder is sad, with misogynistic slurs to rile the crowd, as is the grandmother getting approval from the FB gang for joining in the fray. Against her own daughter who’s child was murdered.
They are exploiting gramma’s grief to support their agenda and she doesn’t know what is happening.
FB rumors are not a reliable source.
I’ll wait for the police to confirm her guilt before I judge her for her child’s death.

So gramma was lying when she said she FaceTimed, CO to NV, with her grandson on Friday night?

No, that was true. The baby was fine on Friday night.

I am not blaming her for the actual death of her child.

It also looks like there is a sewer or water valve opening just in front of and to the left of the can.

What an absolute shame. Prayers and thoughts to this little angel's family and those who did love him.
