No new info...just thought I'd share.

6-Month-Old La. Boy Was Kidnapped, Burned to Death and Found Near Railroad Tracks

No worries Margarita, I appreciate your response.

This case is such a fluster cluck. I bailed on the FB comments - too many scrambled posts like "nd da rtch cd be so mene ta lid bae I hop she brn in hll." Makes my head hurt, lol!

That thread was horrendous. As a bit of a grammar nazi, I was cringing the whole time I was reading (i.e. deciphering) it. It was painful. It should have come with a code book.

“A six-month old baby boy was kidnapped, set on fire and dumped near train tracks in Louisiana last week.

Baby Levi Cole Ellerbe was kidnapped on July 17 after two people came to mother Hanna Barker's trailer door just after 9pm and sprayed her in the face with what she believed was mace.

Instinctively, the Barker ran to get away, a statement from Natchitoches police said, and when she went back home, found her infant son was missing.”

I have just heard about this horrific evil crime from the Daily Mail article. How can anyone harm an innocent child like this? It is a great pity the death penalty is no longer in use in Louisiana.

Rest In Peace little Levi. My thoughts and prayers are with your loved ones.

For Willow Knight, you were asking about his pain, I hope and suspect Levi was unconscious after a couple minutes

It’s absolutely unspeakable all of this, what the little baby endured...recovery from such burns might have been too much for this little one to bear, pain wise. It is only for this reason that I take some comfort that maybe it’s best he didn’t survive his injuries. Hope this makes sense. It shouldn’t have happened to begin with, but at least he is no longer in pain.

True, my sister suffered a serious burn from hot tea that she pulled over on herself as a toddler. She was in the burn unit at Children's in Denver for months. It was so hard on her little body and horrible for our family to see her in so much pain, after she was discharged it was many more months of painful dressing changes and she became very aggressive and bit people all the time. Burns are so painful, I can't imagine how anyone could burn someone on purpose especially a baby

No word about possible motive ? Had the mom of the murdered child and the attacker(s) fought ?
And an innocent baby suffered for it ?
Hard to wrap ones' mind around a crime of such magnitude.....

 

[LietKynes]

This is horrific.

• The woman fled the trailer and originally left the baby there?
• The baby was burned alive? Didn't even die until it was taken to the hospital? That is work of the devil himself. That poor innocent child.

To me this sounds like the woman was involved in some real sketchy business with sketchy people.

Trying to consider a possible motive.
Seems like a revenge hit. But, WHY the baby and not her (the mom) ? Just seems so freaky.

Rest in peace to an innocent angel.

Baby lit on fire and burned to death was NOT a random act, suspect knew mother and more arrests likely: Fire Marshall [UPDATE]

Louisiana State Fire Marshal Butch Brown spoke with KEEL on Tuesday morning and although he could not divulge a lot of information, he did confirm that 25-year-old Felicia Marie-Nicole Smith, who stands accused of killing 6-month-old Levi Cole Ellerbe, is likely not the only person who will face charges in the traumatic incident.

Brown also said that Smith had “a relationship” with the family of Levi, but he didn’t specify further on what the relationship entailed.

“This individual had a relationship with the family and certainly had access to the child. We’re still vetting through those things but it wasn’t a random act, which is important for us to put out. It certainly was an individual who knew the child and had access to the child.”

When I click on these links it is so jarring to see those words next to that beautiful baby boy.

I hope anyone who was involved is able to be charged severely enough to keep them incarcerated forever.

Guess I shouldn’t feel bad about putting blame on the mom early on in the thread. Hopefully she doesn’t blame ppd. Maybe some sort of sick revenge on the dad. Who knows ? Hopefully they both rot in jail.
