Found Deceased GA - Quinton Simon - Discovered Missing From Home By Non-Custodial Mom - Savannah #2

[musicaljoke]

I think MassGuy is right, this was chaotic and rushed (frankly, if she planned this, it’s a first for her - I see no indication in her background of any type of planned or pre-thought behavior, ever) and I believe his body is either in a dumpster, a trash can or in the relatively thick and swampy woods that stretched back from this house. I also fear it’s too late now to do an intense sweep of those woods. Too many days have elapsed without enough brute manpower. Needed a couple thousand soldiers from Bragg to come about five days ago and walk a few miles arm-to-arm through that, but that didn’t come to fruition, regrettably. If she went out the back and walked and disposed of him in the woods, very real possibility his remains are never found now.

Even there, I believe we can rely on predictable human behaviour. How far will she walk into the woods carrying a child and a shovel? Not so far as to get lost. Would she be able to cover her tracks so thoroughly that professionals searchers, who would very soon be combing the area, could not find any evidence? Not likely. I feel confident that any place in the woods where she might have set foot has been searched with trained teams and possibly with dogs.

Dogs searched the woods, video upthread.
They can cover a lot of ground.

Any chance L went to McDonalds if/when she left the house that morning?
That is the trash area/dumpster that I would be checking.
Nervous, having a smoke, thinking, texting, maybe coffee.
We have seen it happen multiple times.

The babysitter was at McDonald's that morning. Are there similar places nearby? If she went somewhere, what did she do with the 3 year old and newborn? I mean, yes, I can see her leaving them home alone... but after what most likely happened at home that morning, would she have even wanted to leave? I'm trying to access the remote part of me that is capable of doing something like this, and I think I'd be a nervous wreck and unable to do anything except collapse and cry. Of course I have never, and never intend to, commit any crime this horrendous, so I'd be a wreck just contemplating doing so.

I can see her leaving the other 2 children home alone, or just taking the baby, yes. Especially if the children were possibly drugged to sleep, which is speculation on how Q died.

In my experience, dumpster trash is picked up by different trucks than roadside pickup, and often on different days, and sometimes by different companies. If he were taken to a dumpster somewhere, that dumpster may not have been picked up for several days after the event, making easy landfill identification more difficult.

Exactly.
Maybe LE know she left and where she went from cameras somewhere, however are having a hard time finding Q precisely due to commercial dumping.

 

[MimosaMornings]

I’m surprised with all the expensive “toys” (nice camper, big new trucks, motorcycles, etc) and the fact that neither grandparent was there at times - they didn’t have any type of camera system at that house?
I’d be checking it all the time if I couldn’t trust my daughter and she had my three little grand children in MY house!

UPDATED TIMELINE with a few notes from yesterday. (Note: I'm opting not to include information that's only found in The Sun, since in past cases they've been less-than-reliable with fact-checking important details.)

MOOs
From CCPD's comments, I'm anticipating an arrest early next week, whether or not they've found little Q's remains by then. I suspect they're taking this time to get everything in line legally, and perhaps also to let the high tensions and emotions dissipate a bit so that they don't have a scene.

Thanks for all the work.

It's an interesting case as well as being a devastating case.

If she is sitting at home since LE made their announcement she must be climbing the walls crazy.

Just sitting there with all her memories waiting to be arrested.

I do think LE are playing a blinder. (but no clue what's really going on here)
They demonstrated mega compassion and insight in pressers, as did FBI, most unusually.
That says they have insight and ability to read the room.

I have no idea how smart she is so cannot even begin to guess at how she might be processing.

I wonder at what her belief system might be or how or if it informed her ALLEGED actions

(still tiny voice in me screaming at whether he is really dead and is she really the poi. I'm always the slowest person on Websleuths to accept the inevitable. Feel free to put me on ignore)

 

[rudegirl]

Perhaps it was an accident due to neglect. Maybe baby Q fell in the pool when L was using drugs or passed out. She found him, and then covered up the death. I’m thinking LE found evidence to indicate Q’s dead body was present somewhere in the home and or pool. I hope they find that precious baby soon. If she did throw him away like trash, that takes a certain type of monster.

 

[iQuill]

Checking in ... Gosh, I thought they would have found the little guy by now ... wonder what is taking so long ... can't imagine what everybody who loved Little Q is going through now, also the LE teams, they must be stressed and feeling under pressure. Where are you precious boy? Moo

 

[Regal Beagle]

Had she or anybody access to a way to destroy his body? Through incineration or any other means?

How far is the pond away from the property? I grew up not far from there, very very sorry to say this but alligators can be found in the oddest places down there.

How far is the pond away from the property? I grew up not far from there, very very sorry to say this but alligators can be found in the oddest places down there.

I have heard it's just a few feet from the back door but i haven't seen a photo of it though others here ha described it, I just couldn't find it.

This has been on my mind the last few days. I really hope this isn't what happened.
And if not the pond, aren't there marshy woods behind the home? I don't know much about alligators, but might there be one back there?

If GA is like Florida there can be an alligator anywhere. We just assume if there is a body of water there is an alligator in it. If you are near a body of water, you are likely near an alligator. I'm not sure about GA but alligators don't stay in the water. They go for walks. I've seen plenty of alligator roadkill on random highways out here.

Do they ever go into houses and do they typically leave traces?

Are you theorizing that an alligator went into that house, took QS and left no trace?

I would think a trace would be left. I don’t think a full body (with clothing presumably) attacked would be left without a trace. Sorry to write that…
Quinton was obviously small though.
I remember when Mike Williams was thought to have been eaten by an alligator it was said repeatedly that there would have still been traces left.
Do y’all remember that small child attacked by a gator at a Disney World property? His almost full body was recovered later.
I absolutely don’t think an alligator went into Quinton’s home and took him.

No.
I asked a question about alligator behaviour because alligators are not my area of expertise.
