GUILTY IN - Skylea Carmack, 10, Gas City, Grant County, 31 Aug 2019 *stepmom arrested* *appeal filed 2022*

[Tealgrove]

So the coroner came and removed what is believed to be Skylea's body and the step mother has confessed.

I hate that we know the outcome almost from the minute the story hits WS. I absolutely hate that we were right.

I knew this was the way we were headed.

If it is indeed the house of the dad/step mom, I can't start to imagine the state of which the body was in.
I mean, I'm sure LE/police have searched that house thoroughly, right? How can they have missed it?

It's weird, gut wrenching and nauseating...

Does the house have a basement? Attic? Not sure where she was but maybe LE was waiting on a judge for a search warrant to do a more thorough search.

I did not see this written here earlier.

"It’s confirmed the coroner was here to remove the body. The Step mother allegedly confessed to strangling Skylea."

What does this evil woman look like? I'm not on facebook. I could not find anything on news outlets in that area yet.

IMO, Step mom makes it very clear she does not care for the child she is speaking about in that post which I also believe is Skylea.

Further down on her page she talks about one of the children cooking and spilling noodles on accident and how angry it made her and pats herself on the back for not lashing out about it.

BBM, A little 10 year old girl. Pretty pathetic

Can we link to the stepmother's social media now? Does anyone have a link for her Facebook?

I can't repeat comments on WMTV 27 so I'll just ask a question. Why no crime scene tape around the house???

After seeing her photo there I'm pretty sure she isn't the one crying in the video of family members.

I prefer this picture, I feel it is more humbling.

This is very, very sad and horrific news but I’m very sorry to say I’m not surprised at all.

May Skylea Rest In Peace.

Me too, do incredibly sad.

I don’t know if I can post this here, but the stepmom had posted very concerning comments about the girl on Facebook s few weeks ago.

I am not a Facebook user, but wouldn’t Facebook “friends” report comments that are concerning where a child is concerned? Like alert the authorities in order to prevent a tragedy or abuse?

I feel like her Facebook friends all fed her ego that she was a great caregiver despite all these horrible ungrateful children.

 

[gregjrichards]

I’m so sad these horrific tragedies keep happening time and time again. I really wish there was a way somehow to keep all kids and young people safe.

such a very sad update - I wonder if they searched the house and property first? It would seem perhaps not? How could they have missed her and now I wonder if the other children saw something? Poor little girl. Another child thrown in a trash bag. JMO
