Found Deceased GA - Quinton Simon - Discovered Missing From Home By Non-Custodial Mom - Savannah #2

[SteveP]

You may be right, and you may not. None of us really know, do we?

None of us really knows, but past history of both is good enough indicators of what may be expected in the future, that I do not believe either should ever again be given the opportunity to harm another child in their custody. JMO

 

[bestill]

curious about vehicles in that household. If DY went to work was it in a vehicle? What vehicle did LS have access to in order to go to a dumpster in a specific location away from the family home?

Figure BJH is out of state (IL) presumably with her camper. TH was out of town (undisclosed location) presumably in his truck. What are the other vehicles in the household. Does the brother have a vehicle? Does LS? Thinking cell data combined with knowing what vehicle LS had at her disposal was key. Hoping they have video evidence of her visiting said dumpster was obtained from nearby businesses.

Was anything said about charges?

Regarding the charges. They were asked why no one has been charged and the response was "we are not ready to charge anyone", they don't want to be premature and risk the outcome of a trial. Tells me that someone is not cooperating with the investigation. JMO

 

[Marysmith]

Do we think a confession is possible? About where the body was placed?

 

[tlcya]

from home to WM Superior Landfill

 

[Eli9]

Was there a Q and A at the end of the presser? TIA

 

[bestill]

Do we think a confession is possible? About where the body was placed?

If there were a confession wouldn't LE have to bring charges? They wouldn't just let a confessed murderer hang out while they did this. JMO

I don't think so.

Yes, true. Duh. Sorry.
So disappointed that she hasn’t confessed then…

 

[girlhasnoname]

Does anyone else think that whatever horrible thing happened to little Quinton well before that morning? If LS's bf phone texted the kids wouldn't be coming at 5:39 am then obviously it had already occurred. She could have already disposed of Quinton well before that text was sent.

Who was in the home that we know for sure the evening prior? What vehicles did LS have access to?

MOO

 

[ilovewings]

I hope they find Quinton so they can arrest this monster and justice can be served which would be death or LWOP. I don't know if there is a death penalty in Georgia.

 

[girlhasnoname]

from home to WM Superior Landfill

Hi ticya, that stated he was placed in a known dumpster before taken to the landfill IIRC.

TIMELINE UPDATED with presser info - no timestamps yet, since I was watching live.

MOOs
With the latest info, I suspect that they may either have phone pings, surveillance video, and/or witness testimony of MomLS at the location of this "specific dumpster." Taking a quick look around Google Maps, I noticed there are dumpsters at the Pal's Mini Mart 1.4mi away. There's an apartment complex 2.0 miles away with a dumpster in their parking lot. Hwy 17 is also about 2.0 miles away, and there's many more businesses there with dumpsters (Taco Bell, Dunkin Donuts, McDonald's, All-American Liquor, etc), but since it's a busier area, you'd also run a greater risk of being noticed.

 

[bestill]

Yes, true. Duh. Sorry.
So disappointed that she hasn’t confessed then…

I know!

[NuttMegg]

You may be right, and you may not. None of us really know, do we?

That's why there is no excuse to take a chance with another baby.

 

[Eli9]

yes, I am watching the replay here

Thanks. I'm very impressed with chief Hadley.

 

[Stunned]

Too many chances and looking the other way are some of the reasons why children are failed by child protection. jmo

Exactly!

 

[flashy09]

Reading these posts brought back a memory of my first Goodwill donation of baby/toddler clothes. I had them washed and bagged up and they weren't the fanciest outfits or the most sentimental ones, but I had the most unexpected sad feeling watching them get thrown into the dirty looking collection container. I think I cried driving away! I truly can't imagine how she was able to put her baby in a dumpster. I know she is not a normal mother, but to cap off her horrific crime with the dumpster is so gross and heartbreaking.

TY yes, I was looking at the map trying to figure out what route and what are the likely dumpsters she might have used. Busier commercial area means higher traffic although WHEN this took place would probably factor into that. Smaller side road or residential area also has its pros and cons. I am just glad they have a specific area to search. Having followed our little butterfly Jhessye's case, I know the last two days has been spent coordinating with experts and the landfill to determine the area that the truck that hauled contents of that specific dumpster was dumped. That area will be sorted and searched with equipment and feet and hands on the ground grid by grid, layer by layer.

Bless little Q. I haven't felt so sad since our butterfly. Hard to imagine this little guy all alone there amidst the most disgusting refuse. It's heartbreaking to consider.
