GUILTY FL - Ronkeya Holmes, 29, & MaSarah Ross, 3, Winter Haven, 18 Oct 2009

[dreamweaver]

A freezer!
Masaraha is found dead, an accident he says and he puts her in the freezer!

And Ronkeya comes to pick up her baby and she is killed for her efforts.

I don't even know what to say.
I am mad and I am sad.

At least they can be brought home to GA and laid to rest.

RIP mom and baby.

Wife Speaks of Suspecting Husband in Killings

Susan Ross told investigators she was tired of trying to protect her husband and didn't want to end up missing, according to an audio recording released Tuesday by prosecutors.

"I danced around a lot of the truth," she said. "I'm tired of dancing. I'm ready to get on with my life."

[snip]

Skeletal remains of an adult and child were unearthed in the grove that Susan Ross identified. Winter Haven Police Chief Gary Hester said Tuesday he is still awaiting a positive identification of the remains and a determination of what caused their deaths.

Flyers feature missing mom and daughter thought to be found weeks ago

Millions of people across the Southeast and here in the Tampa Bay area are being asked whether they've seen a missing mother and child out of Polk County.

Their pictures are printed on coupon flyers going out in the mail and in newspapers, but police believe they already found them nearly two months ago.

[snip]

Confirmation from an autopsy on the skeletal remains that are due back any day now.

Well, the dad is correct, give the space and attention to another missing person.. but then, dealing with multiple agencies and I guess it can happen.
Good to know that LE did not forget, have not forgotten Ronkeya and
Masaraha.
I never have.

Forensic Tests Won't Answer All Questions About Murdered Mother, Daughter

The Medical Examiner's Office is awaiting DNA tests from a University of Florida forensic lab on two skeletons police say are a murdered mother and child.

But the results of those tests will most certainly leave unanswered questions for authorities in Polk County.

Medical Examiner Dr. Stephen Nelson said he "can't imagine it will be much longer" for the tests to be done.

Has anyone heard anything new on this case? I can't find anything. Have the tests been finished on the remains?

Thankx

 

[SheWhoMustNotBeNamed]

As of the article four days ago, the remains were still being examined. An article a few weeks ago said they were "almost" done, or something along those lines.

One year later how awful for the family

The height is right. They may have been off on the age. I have been checking this off and on and they haven't added any new info.

Maybe Masaraha Ross? The date matches this story.

It's about 3 hours to Polk county where the remains were found: https://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&...gl=us&ei=settUPX8DKiziQKYsYCwDw&ved=0CIkBELYD

I wonder why they didn't immediately think of Haleigh.

Ooops! That's why.

 

[Arianne]

Namus doesn't said the race can't be sure. It does say that some hair was found. It doesn't say that two sets of skeletal remains were found? Are you sure we are talking about the same set of remains?

 

[Arianne]

Sorry... Namus says they can't be sure of the race***

 

[Donjeta]

Namus doesn't said the race can't be sure. It does say that some hair was found. It doesn't say that two sets of skeletal remains were found? Are you sure we are talking about the same set of remains?

Pretty sure. When you input the GPS coordinates from Namus it gives you Winter Haven Florida which matches the Masaraha Ross story.
http://boulter.com/gps/#28.12.807 - 81.40.3808
It's a town with less than 27.000 inhabitants. It seems unlikely that they found two remains of small children the same day and would probably be noted in the articles about Masaraha and Ronkeya.

 

[tatertot]

Officially identified. A lack of dental records delayed this one:

So sad that MaSarah is shown wearing a shirt with the wording "Daddy's Lil' Princess" considering the charges against her father.

Rest in Peace, Ronkeya and MaSarah.

 

[SheWhoMustNotBeNamed]

It is with great sadness and deep regret that we notify you that Masaraha Ross missing from Haines City, FL, has been located deceased.
Per NCMEC.
