Between comments Buckman and Edwards made to detectives when they were interviewed and the injuries to the girl doctors observed, police believe Toryn was the victim of ongoing abuse.
They say Buckman, 22, beat her little daughter on multiple occasions, the last of which allegedly happened two days before her death. They also believe Edwards, also 22, intentionally scalded her with hot water in the bathtub.
"There were injuries basically head to foot," Thompson said. Toryn had a number of abrasions and bruises, as well as whip marks made by a clothes hanger and apparent scald marks on her lower body. Detectives are calling this one of the most egregious instances of child abuse they have ever seen.
