Gaskin told NewsChannel5, new evidence has come to light that will prove Jophlin did not kill her daughter. Gaskin is keeping those details a secret for now, but talked about
the last time Jophlin saw her daughter alive.
"She put her to bed. She went to sleep," said Gaskin.
Gaskin said the person she believes killed her niece, had access to her sister's house.
"My sister put her trust in a lot of people. My sister is a very trusting person.
That person came there later on, yes."

Now that was a completely change if I ever saw one...
I am not sure what to think. It's possible there is information that proves her innocence.
It's possible someone came into the house, killed a child in her own house and then concealed the child in her own house.
It's
also possible that we have an overwhelmed family who lost the child and can't accept the mother is responsible.

What about the kids who "seen it happen" who were "sitting on the couch when Aunt Mary killed my cousin."
Are we saying that the kids are lying about their own mother killing their sister?
More from the earlier interview...
Aunt doesn't want to believe her sister did this... she didn't just lose one person, she lost 2. Even though her and her sister didn't always get along, she's still her sister.
If Alexus' Mom didn't do it then she is feeling really bad for her, because she shouldn't have to go through this alone.
If she did do it, she wants to know why... why she didn't just pick up the phone.
The family was told she was found in the crawlspace.
They checked for a pulse and found none.
"The cops told us that she was beat, almost her whole body was black and blue."
"Her neck was broken and the back her head bludgeoned severely."
"They think where it really happened was at the bottom of the steps and that's where she passed away at."
That Alexus' Mother was so scared that she just tried to hide everything.
"I don't understand how she can carry her lifeless body and put her somewhere else, that's the part I don't get. That's the part where I don't understand. You know, how can a Mom do that period. If she didn't do, how could she still cover it up, how could she still try to cover it up."
