well done research, betty p and i'm a huge fan of that.
however, respectfully and completely disagree with your analysis. this is a cover-up, IMO, to the nth degree. small town, big town (hey i love that group by the way lol), this case stinks to high heaven.
JMO...
but the autopsy IS complete. he's been laid to rest.
the coroner will at no point reverse his decision, it's the human factor i've stated many times. ego comes into play at this point.
there is no evidence to suggest anyone murdered this child. yet IMO, JMO, MOO, he was. that's all i can say.
They're still awaiting the toxicology report.
In an unrelated Idaho Falls case, it was reported today that the mother of a child originally thought to have died of SIDS has been charged with first degree murder. The tox report showed the COD was a methamphetamine overdose.
The baby died over a year ago.
Court records obtained by EastIdahoNews.com show investigators discovered methamphetamine in a bottle of children’s Dimetapp — a cold and allergy medication — and within a partially full baby bottle.
Autopsy reports showed the presence of methamphetamine in the child’s stomach, blood and urine. Investigators said the presence of meth in the stomach is consistent with oral ingestion.
Forensic toxicologists determined a lethal dose of meth was likely administered three to four hours before the child’s death. Based on statements from Heather Elam and her roommate Rob Parker, investigators believe Elam was the only person capable of delivering the meth to baby Serenity in the time frame before she died, according to court documents.

Speculating here, if Titus had medical issues, could they possibly account as to why the cold might not have affected him like other children from a sensory perspective.
Was it the Sheriff's theory that Titus ran through woods or was he speculating too?
good thought zuri. but whether or not your child has sensory issues, OCD, on the spectrum, full onset autism or schizoprenia (which is normally not diagnosed at age 2 but i could be wrong), can you imagine a scenario where your special needs or 'well-adjusted' child could function for an hour, naked, in subzero weather?
my boys could. absolutely. screaming at the top of their lungs fully clothed and if i were local LE i might drive away. lol. i'm being half serious. no toddler is just going to wander around in the middle of the night looking for mama, silent. in diapers. no way no how. IMO.
Just to be clear, that wasn't my point. I posted the link as an example of a case where authorities reversed a preliminary determination as new evidence came to light.^^^^this.
Over and over.
Thanks, Bessie.
I know we try to be open-minded here but FGS, at some point we have to accept that almost every one of these cases is either murder or neglect and drugs seem to play a starring role.
Is there a drug-related possibility in this case? I hadn't heard that theory yet, I don't think.
“The mother and the step-dad (Amber Tackett and Frankie Garrett), needed to return a borrowed vehicle to Ironton so the owner of the vehicle could go to work the next morning,” the sheriff said. “The mother was waiting for Titus to go to sleep – he was watching television and lying on the couch. They left the house sometime around midnight, but the grandfather was there with the child.”
Sheriff Medley said the grandfather thought the child had gone with the parents.
“(The parents) came back sometime around 1 a.m. and found the front door open,” said the sheriff. “The boy had been on the couch asleep, but he heard them leave and ran out after them. They had already left. Highway 72 is right there.”
I don't understand this^^^ part.
That makes no sense. First they say Grandpa was 'there with the child.' But then in the next sentence it says:
the grandfather thought the child had gone with the parents.
How can both of those things be true?
