At the identical time, it was introduced {that a} large seek for the 20-month-previous baby’s stays in a Georgia landfill was paused for the week as a consequence of Thanksgiving — officers and volunteers have been combing via tons of rubbish for a number of weeks now. But in a stroke of luck for the household’s grievance, in keeping with Chatham County Police Chief Jeffrey Hadley in a press convention, stays have been discovered on Friday within the landfill and they’re believed to belong to the Quinton.

It’s so, so terribly unhappy, however no less than now the household is on the way in which to getting closure. And for Billie, her intestine was telling her the tragic story from the very starting — so she took an enormous step within the case and turned in her daughter herself!
If you’ll recall, in an interview with WSAV from final month, the grandmother of the boy was already starting to really feel suspicious about Leilani’s blended-up tales:
“Leilani’s story doesn’t add up. I been talking with the baby’s father, with Quentin’s father, all day yesterday. He’s already been questioned, they’ve already went to his job and went to his home, and Quentin’s not there, which, I didn’t think he would be anyway. Why Leilani would even come up with a story like that, I don’t even know.”
Yeah, a stunning twist! But the shock doesn’t cease there — earlier than the 22-yr-previous grew to become a chief suspect in her son’s homicide, Howell apparently informed the FBI her daughter was checking herself out of a remedy heart she had beforehand checked herself into in keeping with a supply for WTOC-TV:
“Her mother had to make one of the hardest decisions of her life, and call the FBI agents and let them know that she was signing herself out, and that she could not come back here, and that she was going to be a flight risk, because she could not come back here because she was going to be back on the streets doing God knows what with God knows who.”
Whoa.
What an terrible determination for a guardian to should make. And solely a month later Simon could be arrested and charged with homicide… Just chilling…
Billie beforehand stated she believed Leilani and her boyfriend have been excessive and left the younger boy within the bathtub the place he drowned, which led to him being disposed of within the rubbish in keeping with DailyMail.com.
Our hearts are with this household as they await solutions as to what precisely occurred. May they discover closure and Quinton the justice he deserves.
