Dominguez’s mother filed a wrongful death lawsuit against Toseland in Clark County District Court. Now, Toseland alleges in a counter-filing that the mother knew Dominguez was dead and colluded with Toseland to hide his body.

In the filing, Toseland claimed Dominguez died Dec. 10 and both he and the boy’s mother were aware of his dead. Toseland claimed the mother didn’t ask where Dominguez was or what his condition was. Toseland said they made the joint decision that they would “preserve” Dominguez until they could find the money to bury him.
“[The mother]...ultimately colluded with Toseland to place Mason’s dead body in a freezer,” the lawsuit alleges.
Toseland also claims that Dominguez’s grandmother knew of his death and that Dominguez’s mother and grandmother covered up his death by telling the other children in the family that Dominguez was staying at his grandmother’s when they both knew he was deceased, the lawsuit said.
-------------------------
we will need to tread carefully while discussing the response to the civil suit by Toseland. Mom (as far as I know) has NOT been named a POI or suspect in the criminal case and LE and MSM are treating her as a victim of DV so the usual victim friendly stuff still applies.
I am curious to see what comes in the civil case. Mason's paternal family has been vocal on SM about their thoughts but we've been unable to discuss because they aren't in MSM. Wonder if they will weight in in the media on this civil case. If they do it will complicate this case discussion.
