I’ve thought of that. I am almost positive that he threw all four of the bridge but in the back of my mind I wonder if there’s any way possible that he spared one.

My thoughts and prayers go out to the mother and family members of this horrfic crime done by such a person as the father of these innocent children. Has the police questioned his “so-called girlfriend” as I wonder if he might have other thoughts regarding one little girl and gave her to is girlfriend to hide her?? He has lied previously, I just wouldn’t put anything past him. Not that I think he wanted or loved the little girl, but he wanted to punished the mother more in his sick wacko mind. Oh my it makes me sick, they need to throw him off the bridge with concrete attached, he isn’t worth any taxpayers money keeping him alive one more hour. Take him up there, throw him off and remind him the bible say an eye for an eye.

After a week and a half in the water, I’m sure the body is badly decomposed already. As sad as that sounds, its the reality.

Can the mother or another family member not identify the body?

Thank you! I have wondered about that but it does make sense. I pray that they find the 4th baby. The mother has enough to go through already. The last thing she needs is to have to bury only 3 and not knowing for sure who one of them is. Thanks again for the info!

As sad as this sounds, they will probably have to compare femur length and other growth factors to determine who was who. Because they were so close in age (and size), it would be very difficult to tell otherwise.
Just another horrible angle to this tragic story.
I pray to God that the recovery teams can find the last baby and atleast offer some closure to their family.

That is probably the case. If you look at the pictures they also look alot alike. I am sure that the bodies are not in good enough shape to look at and identify, they could use dental records but being so young they may not have any.

Can someone explain this to me? Is it because the DNA is so close to comparison?
