GUILTY IL - Alysha Quate, 6, body hidden in garage, Centreville, 2013 *arrest*

[pepelepolecat]

n an interview with the Post-Dispatch on Thursday, Quate says the girl's death was an accident.

His daughter choked to death about four years ago when their family lived in Belleville, Quate told a reporter in a jailhouse interview in Las Vegas.

He and his wife hid her body because they were afraid authorities would take their two older girls, who are now 13 and 11, he said.

And from the Belleville PD Facebook page (I'm assuming this is an acceptable resource since it's the official page):

This is certainly a he said - she said case! It will be interesting to see how many stories (lies) come out of their mouths.

Those poor children. Wonder why the one child got so much abuse?

Can someone link the mom's facebook? I can't find it and I see she has been charged now.

I dont believe the mother at all, she was taking selfies of herself after the daughters death, she was definitely involved in the death,

When JQ's name first became available to search, I knew then that the original story was a load of BS. Mom has a much longer criminal record than dad (but of course was initially considered a victim here per TOS so I said nothing). Now that mom has been charged as well for concealing a homicidal death, I suspect the truth will come out about all the other accusations as well, the abuse, sex trafficking, etc.

After the wife came forward, police went to the apartment and found “a very disturbing scene,” said Lt. Raymond Spencer. The girls had not been allowed to leave the house or enroll in school for the last 18 months to two years. There were so many gnats that officers had to wear masks.

I am not ready to disbelieve her version of events yet. He claims to be a house husband, yet the girls have not been out of the house for 2 years.

 

[flourish]

I think he said he was a "stay at home dad," which would technically be accurate as the girls always always stayed at home. Shudder. This case... Horrific

She somehow got free, or her nerve up, and made it to a women's shelter, where she made the phone call. People who have been in situations of abuse, of which this seems to be a very horrible case of, are not able to make the break. Even if they do make the break, they'll many times go back to the abuser, or the abuser will track them down, and take them back. Many of these folks don't have any funds of their own, a car at their disposal, some are padlocked into their homes during the day, and telephones (landline) taken with their abusers when they leave the home. I'm willing to give mom the benefit of the doubt at this point.

I just mean in the things I read it made out like she was being held hostage forced into prostitution by her husband with her 2 kids. Like if she has a phone to be able to take selfies, surely she could call for help or let someone know the daughter has died. She doesnt look too concerned in the photos.

That's a good point, but abuse can be weird "weird". As in everyone reacts to it differently and it is possible her fear of her husband kept her from getting help etc. But he let her take photos and post on Facebook to keep up appearances. The whole thing is so bizzare and I won't be surprised either way. The only ones I'm sure are victims here are the kids imo

If it's the same FB that I saw there was only a handful of pics over the years. We don't know that he wasn't sitting in the room with her. If he abused her and the others in the home, the way that it reads, I'm not surprised that she didn't call sooner. I've friends who were abused and it's not something you just pick up the phone and call for help. That can get you beaten or killed b/c when LE comes what are they going to see? A guy with his happy little family and wife who overreacted. If he does go to jail for a little while, it's not for long and a restraining order isn't worth the paper it's written on when someone has determined you're their property.

So sad. <modsnip>

I hope you can continue to use the strength you found when calling in to begin to heal from this horrible situation.

Did the mom post here?!

 

[samgmcc]

I read an article that also said the mother was being charged in this death. Please tell me that isn't true.
