More Candidates for Lethal Injection
The little girl’s body discovered by a fisherman a few weeks ago was positively identified as that of 
2-year-old Riley Ann Sawyers. She had lived with her mother, father and grandparents in Ohio up until June of this year. It was in June that her mother decided to run off to Texas and marry a man she had met on the Internet. Riley did not make it alive to see August.
The end of ‘Baby Grace’s’ short life was finally revealed in graphic detail by her mother to investigators.
“According to court documents, the mother of 2-year-old Riley Ann Sawyers told police she and her husband beat the girl with two leather belts and held her head underwater in a bathtub in July. Riley’s stepfather then threw her across the room, slamming her head onto a tile floor.
Kimberly Dawn Trenor said in her statement to police that the couple bought the plastic bin (at Walmart) and placed her daughter’s body inside it that evening. The bin stayed hidden in a storage shed for one to two months, until the couple traveled 75 miles south from their home in the Houston suburb of Spring to Galveston Bay, where the body was dumped.”
Of course the whole story will change when Kimberly and husband Royce Clyde Ziegler II make their pleas in court. They will plead not guilty to the charges as is their right and force the justice system to prove their case. Unfortunately, when and if the charges are proven true and the sentences are handed down that will not be the end of their rights. If one or both of the suspects are sentenced to death there will be years of appeals.
