Baby Grace, Riley Sawyers: Couple Arrested

BREAKING BABY GRACE NEWS:

Authorities have moved in the Baby Grace case.

Couple Charged in Case of Missing Child Who May Be 'Baby Grace'

Galveston County authorities have arrested a couple in the case of a missing child who may be "Baby Grace," the toddler whose body washed ashore in a storage bin in Galveston Bay last month.

Authorities are awaiting DNA test results but have tentatively identified the girl as 2-year-old Riley Ann Sawyers of Spring, said Maj. Ray Tuttoilmondo of the Galveston County Sheriff's Department.

The girl's mother, Kimberly Dawn Trenor, 19, and Royce Clyde Zeigler II, 24, reportedly told relatives that she was taken in July by someone claiming to be an Ohio social worker. But they never told police she was missing, Tuttoilmondo said.

After police searched their home, they were arrested early Saturday and charged with injury to a child and tampering with evidence, Tuttoilmondo said. The couple remain jailed on bonds of $350,000 each. It's unclear if they are married, Tuttoilmondo said.

Tuttoilmondo declined to say what was found in the home, about 200 miles south of Dallas, or what the couple may have said about Riley's disappearance.

The police have been onto the couple for awhile, but were remaining silent.

The arrests followed searches conducted Saturday after a November 7 tip, the sheriff's department said.

Deputies and FBI agents plan to release more information at a news conference Monday, Galveston County Sheriff's Maj. Ray Tuttoilmondo said.

At the time Tutttilmondo stated: " "She is more to us than just a case number, more to us than just an unidentified body. She is very much a human being," Tutoilmondo said last month. "She is someone's child, someone's grandchild, someone's cousin, someone's best friend, and to us, that is the most important part about this case."

"We have adopted the name of Baby Grace because, there again, that is part of the emotional part of this case for us," he said, holding a tiny sneaker identical to one of those the child was wearing when she was found."

Finally the authorities have moved in this case. Perhaps questions can now begin to be answered in the Riley Sawyers disappearance and the Baby Grace case. Maybe they are one and the same, maybe not.

In either case, we applaud the actions of the authorities.

Baby Grace: Police Follow Tip To Dead End

The number of leads police are running down has ballooned to 300, according to authorities.

The latest tip followed proved to be a dead end, but what was interesting was the information not given. Read this from the Houston Chronicle, "FBI to Announce Reward in Baby Grace Case":

"This is not Baby Grace," Galveston County Sheriff's Office Maj. Ray Tuttoilmondo said of the Spring girl. "I'm not going to get into the quality of the lead, but it's something we've got to look at."
He said the Spring girl had never been reported to authorities as missing.

A toddler is missing and not reported?

A commenter at the Houston Chronicle had the correct reaction:

And they don't have a problem with that? No one bothered to look for their missing child? What is going on with our society?

Exactly.
