Wait, what?? From **adam yax** ’s link: “On Saturday, police arrested Trenor and Zeigler on charges of injuring a child and tampering with physical evidence, the sheriff’s department said.” Um, they tortured her to death and then covered it up for months…“injuring a child”?? I’m assuming they can escalate the charges later??

Yes. They’re waiting for DNA evidence to prove that Baby Grace is Riley. I imagine the parents will be charged with murder once the DNA has been established.

Fox 7 News in Austin just aired a story about the artist. Apparently she has helped to identify over 1,100 victims with her artwork. She seems like a nice lady…

Maybe the creepiness was intentional, because it’s a very haunting picture. You can’t forget it once you’ve seen it.

One of the things that struck me about the rendering was the hair. Toddlers have very fine wispy hair, but the hair in the drawing looked like that of a much older girl.

The proportions of the face look more adult than child-like. To be honest, it looks to me like a Suzanne Sommers doll that’s been left out in the rain.
