GUILTY MO - Ireland, 2 & Goodknight Ribando, 7 weeks, found dead outside home, Kearney, July 2018 *arrest*

[tmar]

I wonder if she smothered his children to get back at him for cheating on her. That was my initial and first thought on this case and I'm still there.

Let us hope, the autopsies will answer our questions, on 'cause of death'.
Also blood results from mother and father: what was still in their bodies (but perhaps the father wasn't tested).

That story doesn't sit right with me. I'll be glad when the autopsy report comes back. How did she sleep until noon in a hot stuffy car? The baby would have cried at some point I would imagine. Maybe this was an attempted murder/suicide and something went wrong.

 

[Lucyray]

The scenario I'm envisioning is there was the brick-and-bash fight outside. The husband takes off. Then the wife also takes off in her car - to find him, to visit a friend and vent, to do something else, who knows. As she's driving around after the fight, the little ones fall asleep in the car. She returns home....and forgets all about her babies in the car.

So far, that sequence is what I'm picturing. I could be way off base, of course.

Except, the kids were in the house during the altercation. Are you thinking mom threw the brick, then loaded the kids in to the car, then smashed his car with hers? Was dad just waiting for her to load the kids? (He says they were in the house..). Personally, I believe she punished her husband by hurting his kids. For his indiscretion (or alleged indiscretion..who knows??)

How do we know to believe the husband? How do we know he didn't lock them out of the house? If she killed them, how did she do it? By leaving them in the car so they would suffocate? I don't know who to believe in this story.

Court docs: Clay County mom fell asleep with kids in car

The records show that when Clay County sheriff's deputies got to the house on July 4, they noticed the front door of the house was slightly open and the Jeep's windows were rolled up.

Okay, so the kids are in the house during the altercation between the parents. Husband takes off. Wife decides she is going to take off too (to where, I don't know) so she loads the kids in her vehicle and drives around. The kids fall asleep during the drive. When she returns home, she never takes them from the car.

A working theory...subject to change as we learn more.

...at some point she took the girls to the jeep to sleep...No mention of how they got out of the house in order to be "locked out"... Just, 'at some point.' I call bunk. Major bunk.

How do we know to believe the husband? Because the police said the door was unlocked and slightly ajar when they arrived. And she is also quoted as saying she didn't have her keys and then she later found them but chose not to unlock the house? Because she is the one found with two dead children and contradicting stories and suspicious circumstances and NOT the husband. Why suggest the husband deliberately locked her and the two kids out of the house when even SHE doesn't claim that?

And if he really did ,and I don't think he did since so far I've seen no one claim that, why would a grown woman sit outside with two babies instead of calling for help?? She was clearly capable of walking to the neighbors. And if she just sat in a car all night why did the babies die and not her? She said she later found the keys...why didn't she go in then?

I don't need to know how she killed them to know she put herself in one heck of a crazy situation and made up stories that make no sense and contradict each other. Because when it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck it's usually a duck. In the end she's the one found with two dead children and stories that make no sense and not her husband.

Also, she went to the shed for gas..why? (Article says because the car didn't have much in it.) Something about this doesn't feel right. Put gas in it so no one will know it sat there running until empty, perhaps poisoning those kids, or as previous poster mentioned, a failed suicide/but succeeded murder? Whew!

Search on her wall. There is a quote from the person who was called in to haul off the car.

Can you provide a link? That is acceptable if it's MSM. You can't quote the comment, but you can post a link.

Court documents say Clay County mom fell asleep in car with 2 girls who later died

Ugh, CPS was called the night of the fight but put it off till morning! By then the babies were dead.

So, if Police arrived straight after fight, this horrid event, may have been prevented.
'Heads will fly" I hope, via public outrage.

This is exactly what I picture as well. Possibly adding that she intended to leave them in the car for just a minute when she got home while she did whatever inside and eventually passed out.

 

[Lucyray]

Did everyone just read that latest report?? Omg! The investigator was there in the morning..9:30.,car running, no one sitting in car (that was obvious as he/she saw anyway) but not air conditioning running. Rear light on. Or something close to what I just typed. Omg!

 

[Confusion]

Could be carbon monoxide? Maybe? Closed up car etc..

That was my thought. She planned to kill herself and the girls, but the car ran out of gas before she died, but not before the girls did. It might explain why she didn't "find" them until about noon.

Just read this, so I guess my theory is a bust.

 

[FlossyMay]

I hope they took a blood sample for tox screen on mom.

 

[flourish]

I hate to say this, but I'm finding myself wondering if she had the heat on in the car.

 

[2Hope4]

I don't believe this was an accident.....nope....

 

[kkdj]

So CPS was called at around 11:00 p.m. and they had the fight at that time?
I'm trying to put this together. Why would someone call CPS late at night and not call the police?
I'm guessing it was either the dad or the grandma that placed the call.
I see now it was a hotline that was called for child services.

 

[kkdj]

The car was on when the child services investigator came around 9:30 a.m. The investigator didn't see anyone in the car and nobody answered the door.
Where was she?
