Police Have ID'd for Baby Grace
Nov. 26, 2007
Texas investigators announced this morning that they are "fairly confident" the little girl found late last month stuffed in a plastic box is missing 2-year-old Riley Ann Sawyers.
"It was a few weeks ago that I held up this shoe and asked, 'Who is "Baby Grace"?'" Maj. Ray Tuttoilmondo, a spokesman for the Galveston County Sheriff's Office, said during a news conference in which he announced the weekend arrests of the girl's mother and stepfather in connection with the little girl's disappearance and death.
"Riley's mother, 19-year-old Kimberly Ann Trenor, and her husband, Royce Clyde Zeigler, 24, both of Spring, Texas, are currently in the Galveston County Jail," Tuttoilmondo said. Both have been charged with injury to a child and tampering with evidence, Tuttoilmondo said, and remain jailed on $350,000 bonds each.
The pair could face additional charges, Tuttoilmondo said, including possible murder charges.
The arrests come nearly a month after a fisherman in West Galveston Bay discovered the locked box abandoned on a small island. Inside was the body of a child who had suffered a head wound. Authorities appealed to the public for help, releasing a composite sketch of a child they called Baby Grace. Hundreds of tips from around the world poured into the Galveston County Sheriff's Office.
One of those involved Riley, a little girl who was last seen in July when Trenor reportedly gave her to someone who presented her with custody documents that appeared legitimate, ABC News' Houston affiliate KTRK first reported last week. The child was never, however, reported missing to police.
Late last week, detectives requested DNA samples from eight families with missing children resembling Baby Grace. One of the samples was submitted by Riley's father, Robert Sawyers of Mentor, Ohio.
The tip that Baby Grace might be Riley originally came from Riley's paternal grandmother, Sheryl Sawyers, who phoned investigators after she saw the Baby Grace sketch on the Internet. "There isn't a day that does by that I don't think about her," Sheryl Sawyers told KTRK.
Tuttoilmondo said it was unclear whether Sheryl Sawyers or anyone else would be able to collect the $20,000 reward offered last week to anyone who provided authorities with information that lead to Baby Grace's identity.
When the little girl's body was found Oct. 29, investigators didn't have much to go on to identify her. They called in renowned forensic artist Lois Gibson who came up with a sketch of the girl whom detectives called Baby Grace. Gibson felt an overwhelming need to help determine the little girl's identity. "I needed to know the name of this girl and I needed this to be over with," Gibson said.
When Baby Grace was found, she was wearing a Target-brand pink, flowing skirt, a pink shirt and white light-up tennis shoes with purple flowers on them. For a brief time investigators looked into the possibility that the child's body was that of Madeleine McCann, a 4-year-old British girl whose disappearance from a resort hotel in Portugal in May has made international headlines, but quickly ruled out a connection to that case.
Riley's biological parents met when her mother was in high school in Mentor, Ohio. Relatives say Trenor met Zeigler over the Internet and moved to Houston to be with him.
It will take several weeks for DNA testing to prove conclusively that Baby Grace is Riley.
While Tuttoilmondo expressed thanks for the public's help in identifying the girl and credited cooperative police work for the break in the case, he also said that tips that poured in have resulted in 22 additional missing girl cases they will continue to investigate.
