GUILTY GA - Caliyah McNabb, 15 days, Newton County, 7 Oct 2017 *Arrests* #2

[Jewels53]

I was hoping Law and Crime was going to put the Trial on Youtube so we could post it on this thread. I haven't seen it on their website. I presume they are not going to upload the daily trial.

I can't find them anywhere else right now.

 

[1&2&3]

I don’t remember the case, however, we had another case where the mother had a missing infant and did the same thing calling out for her as if she could respond!

 

[1&2&3]

I’ve missed it. Why did Bell’s father take the newborn and two year old to his house?

I heard him say he told his daughter to clean up the house before he would bring them back.

Did this new mother spend any time with her newborn? Her cousin also said had taken the two children to keep at her house.

Was DPS involved with this family? If so, they sure messed up big time! If not, how did they, DPS, miss them?

I'd have to dig way back to find the original stories but yeah, I remember something about Cortney calling the police on her father who had Caliyah. If I can find my old post I think I linked to the police report. I'll look for it tonight.

It's been so long since this case started that it's hard to keep from mixing up details with other cases.

ETA: Bingo! Here's the link to the police call about "custodial interference." The father's call is one of the sound files.
UPDATE: Two previous 911 calls reported from McNabb residence

And here's the link to my original post:

[dyannaON]

I didn’t realize trial had started. Ugh. This horrible murder makes no sense to me still.
Hate drugs.
Hate that these “parents” took drugs.
May justice be harsh.

 

[Jewels53]

[Jewels53]

11 Alive on youtube is streaming it also. Very good quality...except for right now because they are playing the video interrogation of the parents which is always crappy quality.
