GUILTY Arizona girl, 2, left in car by father on 109-degree day and is found dead #2 (guilty plea, father found dead 5 November 2025 before sentencing)

[duckduck]

from being CS's "special" friend and neighbor? It has been stated in court docs that those around the neighborhood viewed CS and his next door neighbor, KS, as "close"

I took it to mean she stopped defending/supporting her dear "friend" CS and took her blinders off to eventually support Cindy in her pursuit of justice for Parker.

I'm just surprised she chose to be so visible. It's interesting she moved out of her home in May. I wonder if it was hard to remain in the neighborhood, all things considered.

I would imagine so. Particularly if she became aware of what the rest of the neighborhood was assuming about the nature of her relationship with CS.

yeah, I posted about this last week sometime. Whoever prepared that report needs fired. Lance is a defendant in a different Child Death that occurred in the same county around the same time as Parker's. Poor cut and paste job and the preparer probably used the report on the Savard case as their template for this report on Parker. And yes, repeatedly referred to the deceased girl as a he throughout.

It's shamefully sloppy

Thank you and tragically it's not that surprising considering how incompetent CPS has been proven to be.

Where' the blasting part of CS by the prosecutor?

From the link above at 13 News:
A message 13 News left with Scholtes’ attorney has not been returned, and Schacht said the family moved out of their Marana home in May. I took this to mean the Scholtes family moved out in May.

If she and the golden boy were just friends not friends with benefits as some neighbors thought, she has no reason to hide. It could be completely innocent and it’s even possible he was having an affair but not with her. OTOH maybe they were FWB and this is helping her work through whatever she was feeling. IDK I find him too distasteful to spend any time thinking about him in that respect.The neighbors thought she would be less than forthcoming, but she seemed pretty transparent in her interview with LE, I was missing some pages so I could’ve missed something.

Based on the p@rn videos he watched while Parker was left in the car, I'd guess "napping" was the word he used for "alone time" locked in his bedroom.... maybe then followed by a nap.

It appears that school (when in session),screen time, neighbors, and cars were the co-nannys in play here.

ES may have glimpsed him in his highest good and truly hoped he'd find that again or at least more consistently. Maybe he was a "rescue" case for her. No one is born into this world with the problems he accumulated over time. I truly do hope he is at peace and I do hope the entire set of family and friends recover from their horrible trauma and reach understandings that allow them to rise to their own highest and best selves for the remainder of their lives. In that way, Chris's life will have served a divine purpose in addition to having brought 4 wonderful beings into this world.

BBM:
The only thing I see of divinity here is that CS, enabled by ES, treated their 4 divine children like disposable goods of no value leading to the horrific death of Parker.

What is the point in having a stay-at-home parent if they cannot be trusted to adequately parent the kids?

Make them get a job and hire a babysitter.

MOO.

That train left the station years ago for these parents.

Scholtes took a plea deal and pled guilty to second-degree murder and child abuse in October ... he was set to turn himself in to authorities yesterday ... authorities report he took his own life Tuesday night. His manner of death is believed to be carbon-monoxide poisoning.

Daughter of Arizona Dad Who Left Toddler to Die Not Surprised by Suicide

The eldest daughter of an Arizona man who died by suicide after pleading guilty to murdering his 2-year-old daughter apparently isn’t shocked by what happened ... at least according to her former guardian.

Shocked. Just shocked.
A) that it was a female paramour
B) that there are housewives who would find him remotely attractive I mean HONESTLY he is known to drink as a stay at home dad, dumps off his own kids to friends and plays video games all day? C'mon!

Knowing FULL well while Christopher NAPPED the Littles would go wandering outside!?!?! NAPPED!?!?

Page 80.

Tbh I was trying to get thru reading this before his sentencing.... and here we are.

IMO he was completely monstrous from head to toe, but he was certainly enabled along the way.

Obviously primarily by Erika, who for God only knows why, tolerated his complete and ultimately fatal negligence of their children.

Who among us who have children, or those who don’t but care about helpless toddlers, would not call the authorities when unaccompanied small children repeatedly show up at your door, despite that they have a stay-at-home father allegedly taking care of them?

The wife, the neighbors who saw the kids out alone more than once, this whomever woman next door, all those prior to Parker’s death, it is just unfathomable to me. No one cared enough to intervene? Although yes the fault is all Chris, but still…see something, say something.

Then the judge treating Chris like he won the lottery instead of making sure he was behind bars immediately after Parker was found baked alive in daddy’s car.

I’ll never be able to grasp this.

Eisenberg tells us the teen has been in the custody of Child Protective Services ... while her two younger sisters had been living with Scholtes and his spouse. We're told the teen plans to apply for custody of them in the near future, after she turns 18 later this month.

That’s not from the best source (some say). But oh dear, if true.

IMHOO

Somewhere, i think it was in the pdf, I read that the teen said. "Let me guess, he left her in the car" when she heard Parker died.. Anyone else recall that?

 

[NuttMegg]

I feel certain he knew about Fotis Dulos!

Still leads me to believe he was home alone. But he knew the car would shut off after 20 minutes. (Iknow, not the same car). Would that be enough time?
How do you keep a car running? Put weight on the gas pedal? Would the car shut off because the wheels weren't turning? Curious how that works.

I don't know what car he was in, but I bet any car he had available would be a model new enough to have those kind of shut-off features in it. Don't think they had any old clunkers around, or even anything older than a few years old.

But I figured those would be options that the owner can disable if they so choose. If they can read the manual, that is.

I have no idea how long it would take before you're "done" (literally).

 

[ChatteringBirds]

He choose a method that also posed a risk to whomever would find him.

Would a modern car keep running if the AC wasn't left on?

But read the manual, got it.

All I've had for my whole adult life are toyota pickups, and they'll keep running til there's no gas.

If TMZ’s reporting is accurate, then this will just aid ES and the supporters/enablers of CS in claiming that his suicide was motivated by guilt over the murder he committed, and NOT because he was outraged that he’d be spending the next two decades in prison. “Look, he chose to end his life in the same place he ‘accidentally’ killed Parker—oh, poor, tortured Chris, it was a mistake anyone could make!” I 100% think this was a conscious decision on his part—narcissists aren’t really known for leaving things to chance.

Hm, you may be right. I wonder if, to further his deception, he made sure to NOT run the car's A/C during the time he stayed out there in it. I wonder if he was found overheated and had been obviously sweating. I wonder if he left his handprints on the window.

Well, even if he did choose the car for reasons you stated, I think there are limits to how far he would go.

I.e., I think he ran the A/C.

 

[Rosydecember]

I’m glad to hear that ES did take Parker’s death hard, that she did maybe have some sort of maternal instinct. Maybe there is hope for her after all.

Attached is one snip from her mom’s statement; the other snip is from her brother.
