Baby Grace Memorial

Tim Miller, Director of Texas Equusearch, helped to organize Sunday afternoon's memorial service. Several dozen people gathered among television cameras to grieve for a little girl who, in life, not a single one of them even knew.

"Our absolutely singular focus right now is 'who is Baby Grace?'," says Maj. Ray Tuttoilmondo, at the Galveston County Sheriff's Department. "Everything else after that point is pretty secondary right now. Our singular focus right now is who she is, and let's put her back with her family."

"Whenever we're doing a search, we always do something, whether it's a candlelight vigil or a memorial. We didn't feel Baby Grace's story needed to be any different," Miller says.

Within about a half-hour, the crowd dissipated, but a few would walk down the dock in back of the bait and tackle shop and board motor boats to transport the flower-draped wooden cross to the small, unnamed island where Baby Grace's remains were found. For the investigators who found the toddler's remains crammed in the plastic storage box on that island, returning to the island brought back painful memories.

"Being in a box on a little island three or four miles from here is no place for Baby Grace to have ended her life," says Tuttoilmondo.

Im shure thay dident meen to kill her. Chilldren can be very wicked and it is up to true followers of God Almighty to keep them disiplind on the rite path to heavun.

Proverbs 23:13-15

Withhold not correction from the child: for if thou beatest him with the rod, he shall not die. Thou shalt beat him with the rod, and shalt deliver his soul from hell. My son, if thine heart be wise, my heart shall rejoice, even mine.

Amen

Some times acsidents happun. Thay shall go too heavun

Um... no.

Her mother and step father beat her with leather belts. Then, they tried to drown her by holding her head underwater in the bathtub. THEN-- the step dad picked her up by the hair and threw her... and busted her skull on the tile floor.

Then, they kept her body in a plastic tub in the garage for months, until they decided to throw it into the water to get rid of it.

That seems pretty intentional, doesn't it?

OK BUT I WANNA KNOW WHAT HAPPEND

[shanabanana919]

A 3-5 year old girl was found in a plastic box... skull factures... murdered. The box was dumped on a remote Galveston Texas island. No missing child report matches her, and no parent or upset guardian has come forward. There is no name for the girl. So they named her "baby grace".

We can´t help her anymore. But YOU can help some other kid. Look around. Your neighbours, friends, relatives. Is there some little kid who needs your help? Just do it. Do it NOW!

And let this message go around. So as many people as possible could read it.

This really touched my heart,to see all these people doing this for an unknown little child.

Little Children such as Riley Ann do not mean to be wicked, 2 year olds don't misbehave with intention to hurt others, because 2 year olds don't resent, hold grudges or seek revenge so 2 years old don't have intentions, Riley was 2 years old. 2 years old give more in loving others then anything else. I should know my Anjeni is almost 2 & I picked her up to walk out the door, she turned to look at me & kissed me out of the blue. Anjeni hugs people, kisses dolls, reaches out with giving.

No, no Caledonia62. No lethal injection, or hanging. That's too easy. Let the inmates take care of them. And trust me, they will. Doesn't matter what kind of crimes you commit when you go to prison, with the exception of hurting children. Even the murderers have a soft spot for babies. And those that rec'd life have nothing to lose if they take care of her parents. And when they get the chance they will. The rest is up to God.

R.I.P Baby Grace ..Riley Ann Sawyers

[Caledonia62]

I have a 3 year old baby girl. She actually looks like little Riley. Blond and blue eyed and beautiful. How could ANYONE hurt a poor sweet little baby. Her B*tch mother was recently sentenced to life in prison. Unfortunately, the worse that that piece of SH*T Royce Zeigler, who bashed little Riley's head against a WALL and drowned her in a bathtub will get is LIFE also. He needs to BURN and DIE on the gallows. Or lethal injection.

[kharrishou]

I wished they would hang her parents for what they did.

[AngryWhiteGurl]

It sounds like somebody needs a hug...

[fairieofsorrow]

what the hell is wrong with you to say somthing like that about a child!
