Mr. Hornsby, I do not know if this will help at all because I know she had four or five different last names and lived in different states.
If you punch her name in on this site it comes up with a long list that has codes that a lawyer would recognize ...that I do not as a layperson. If any of us have misunderstood and she is not a felon, on behalf of everyone I offer our apology to her. I am sure I speak for everyone here...abuse is never OK and it is certainly no laughing matter.
IF she was abused, it was wrong! I want to be unequivocal. For anyone who may be reading here...if you are in an abusive situation, get out and do report it to the police. Do it for yourself and for any woman that may come after you. For support and more information please call the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-800-799-SAFE (7233) or at TTY 1-800-787-3224

If someone had ever duct taped me, that guy better hope that I beat it to the police station before my brothers and friends exact a little prairie justice. Let alone, let it happen a second time, that guy would be unrecognizable!!! That is why I find the story hard to believe; because ,I know what I would have done. Also, even if I allow for an abused person not being in the strong mindset to call the police.... I cannot reconcile her believing Roy did this and not contacting the police. I just do not believe any woman, mother or not, would sit by silently if they knew, or thought they knew, who murdered this baby. Not ever.
