Deceased/Not Found AL - Zarial Lewis-Farris, 4 wks, Prichard, 2007 *G. Lewis guilty*

  • #21
Tyson said Lewis told police where she left the body of 1-month-old Zarial Lewis Farris, and authorities will search for the remains today in Escambia County.

He said the mother broke down and gave a statement to police Friday evening, just a couple of hours after authorities renewed their pleas for help from the community in their search.

Tyson said investigators were preparing to administer a lie detector test when she confessed to killing the child.

Why wouldn't that selfish #($*%@ just take him to a "safe place" (ie. hospital, fire department, etc.) and hand him to someone to allow him to live? I don't care if you are 18 or 60!! You do NOT kill your baby! I hope they give her everything she deserves!

Find peace you littlest angel, Zarial. Someone loved you somewhere in your short time on earth and they will miss you.

It's sick. She obviously had info, or access to info on the local adoption agencies but she chose to kill her baby instead. When will it ever end?

The body of Geretha Tyese Lewis' infant daughter sat in a garbage bin in front of her Prichard home until it was dumped in an Escambia County landfill, authorities said.

~snip~

On Saturday, Whitfield said recovering the body will not be easy.

Whitfield said the landfill is the largest in Alabama, and the size of the search area was larger than a football field and more than 25 feet deep. As the officers searched, more trucks arrived and dumped garbage elsewhere in the landfill.

The search also was made more difficult, Whitfield said, because the officers could not use cadaver dogs. There are so many decaying animals in the dump that the dogs would be overwhelmed by false positives, he said.

Allied Waste, the company that owns the landfill, was cooperating with the search and was keeping trucks from dumping garbage in the search area, Whitfield said.

wasn't there 2 women that accepted a ride to give someone directions who's baby was abducted by the driver when they got out? Don't remember if that one was resolved. This is pitiful why oh why couldn't she of just run away or left baby at hospital.

Not telling her parents until they pressured her tipped me off. She led police to the body, iirc.

Unfortunately I am not surprised.
Her story did not check out from the start and I am guessing she concocted the adoption story because family or friends began asking about the baby and possibly pressuring her to not go through with the "adoption"

Although I can't imagine why anyone would pressure her not to go through with it since the most recent article states she already had other children.

I wonder why she really just didn't put the baby up for adoption?

Yes, there was definitely something suspicious about her story. Reputable agencies would've had complete documentation about an adoption and wouldn't have done what she said. Poor little Zarial.

Doesn't Alabama have a law where moms can drop off their newborns in hospitals and fire departments if they don't want to keep them? If not, the state should.

Prichard Police Maj. Marvin Whitfield said the garbage was picked up in the Gulf Village neighborhood Tuesday, the day before police held a news conference and began an intensive search for the missing child.

Whitfield said recovering the baby's body from the landfill in Escambia County will not be easy.

Investigators from the Prichard Police Department and the FBI (website) searched the Allied Waste Services landfill on Saturday.

Whitfield said police plan to return Monday and try to isolate the area most likely to contain the body by looking through mail and other clues in the garbage.

The baby's mother, meanwhile, has a court hearing Monday.

I think in that one, if I'm rembering correctly the family owed people money because they were illegals or owed drug money? I know there was a thread on it.

Sadly, I expected an ending like this.

The adoption scam was just little farfetched.....
Yes I suspected the adoption story was lie from one of th earlier articles where she said she met with adoptions workers in a PARKING LOT to sign papers, which she said she destroyed, and handed her baby to them.,
