GUILTY FL - Phoebe Jonchuck, 5, dropped from 60' bridge, St Petersburg, 8 Jan 2015

[Shin Masamura]

He threw her from the smaller bridge which leads up to the larger Sunshine Skyway bridge.

My BIL's dad committed suicide of the main bridge years ago. :tears:

Sad news to say the least, live local here and its a story people just choose not to talk about.. heinous

(snip)

But at midnight last night Jonchuk was allegedly seen speeding at 100mph in a PT Cruiser toward the Sunshine Skyway bridge, according to a police report.

The officer who spotted the Cruiser gave chase and saw the driver reach the top of Dick Misener Bridge then enter the approach to the Skyway.

The car was then seen to stop and a figure emerged, throwing a child over the side of the rail into the water off Boca Ciega Bay.

The officer said he heard the girl scream as she fell.

How absolutely inhuman. I've been unable to find the words to express the outrage, pain, and hurt I have and still feel over Phoebe's MURDER.

I still find myself unable to verbalize properly. I. Just. Can't.


Instead I leave you with more beautiful images (taken from the DM article) of a beautiful Forever Angel - gone too soon - taken from this world for NO good reason.

There are SIX linked at the bottom of this article.

This precious, beautiful angel on earth should not have had to DIE to receive her wings!

Phoebe's legacy must not only be an overhaul of Florida's broken system, but true accountability of the so-called professionals who let her down! I mean loss of jobs, and criminal liability if it can be proven!

Enough is enough!

Thanks for gathering this very informative info, MsMarple! It shows that everyone in Phoebe's life was a criminal and she never had a chance. Poor baby ...

It looks like she had a sibling whose name was blacked out. Do we know where he/she is or how he's doing?

Florida girl allegedly tossed from bridge by father is laid to rest after packed funeral service

Phoebe Jonchuck's mother, Michelle Kerr, had asked the Tampa congregation to wear bright colors while remembering her youngest 5-year-old child Wednesday. The emotional service focused on forgiveness but was twice interrupted by a man who had to be removed after threatening to kill Phoebe's father, John Jonchuck.

That photo of her in the purple fairy outfit is just so beautiful.

I can totally understand the sentiments of the disruptive mourner at her funeral.....the mother of the accused not so much.....MOO

BIB - that is what I cannot fathom.

Every single adult that had any role in caring for Phoebe seemed to be involved in some combination of violence, mental health problems, thieving and drug abuse - and yet apparently it was fine to leave her in their care according to child protection. Except that it really, really wasn't okay. Poor child.

I mean seriously - just how bad do parents or carers have to be before children are removed for their own safety?

Just 12 hours before police say a man threw his 5-year-old daughter to her death off a Tampa Bay bridge last month, his own attorney called Florida's child abuse hotline, warning that his client was suffering from mental delusions. But the hotline operator didn't refer the call to investigators because she didn't think the child was in danger, according to documents released by Florida child welfare officials Monday.

One week earlier, another worried caller told the Department of Children and Families that Jonchuck's daughter Phoebe had been physically abused in the past. But that call also failed to get to DCF investigators because the operator hung up before she got John Jonchuck's address. Instead of calling back, she simply closed the case, according to the state's investigation...

Jonchuck's own divorce lawyer had warned authorities of his mental state on Jan. 7, telling the hotline operator that Jonchuck had driven to three different churches in his pajamas with Phoebe in tow and asked his attorney to translate a Bible in Swedish. Jonchuck was also expressing paranoid fears that Phoebe was not his biological daughter, his lawyer said.

Seriously?!

I hope that people are fired AND held criminally liable for their (in)actions!

Phoebe's blood IS on their hands - TWO times over!

A man accused of throwing his daughter off a bridge has been found incompetent to stand trial.

John Jonchuck appeared in court Tuesday. The case has been reset for a status check on Feb. 17.

If the court rules in line with the doctors' reports, Jonchuck would likely be sent to a hospital for six months before his case returns to court for another status check.

Oh no.....

I hope the clinicians are able to stabilize him. It's not unheard of. The thought of this :censored: never facing adjudication for what he did to precious Phoebe makes me sick to me stomach.

I realize it's a real possibility. However, I truly believe he knew what he did was wrong at the time he committed the crime.

He deserves to face justice, just as much as Phoebe deserves to have her justice. That's just how I see it. :tears:

A man accused of throwing his 5-year-old daughter over a Tampa bridge is being sent to a prison mental facility until he's capable of understanding the first-degree murder charges he's facing.

Pinellas-Pasco Circuit Judge Chris Helinger ruled Thursday that John Jonchuck is incompetent to stand trial... Prosecutors say two experts who've evaluated Johnchuck believe he can become mentally competent with proper treatment in six to nine months. Then, the case against him can continue.

The judge will get an update on his condition during a June 9 hearing.

Barely three months after 5-year-old Phoebe Jonchuck’s father dropped her 60 feet from a bridge into Tampa Bay, lawmakers could soon vote on new legislation aimed at preventing deaths like hers.

What will be considered on the House floor is not a major reform, however, but a fine-tuning of a bill passed last year, also intended to prevent child deaths. Lawmakers at the time approved a measure to hire an extra 270 child protective investigators and form “Critical Incident Rapid Response Teams” to look into child abuse deaths.

This year’s bill (HB 1055), which cleared its final committee last week, requires a child protection team medical director to be included on the rapid response teams. It also heightens team members training and credentialing standards and mandates that the medical directors be certified in child abuse.
