Found Deceased NC - Tristan Blue, 2, Raleigh, 22 Dec 2014 *Arrests*

[jojo87]

I am so heartsore at this I'd have added this beautiful child to my family in an instant. Why oh why do they take it out on the little kids. There are so many people who could have helped.
I am terribly angry at these so called parents, this was more than one incident if you ask me.. Words aren't enough!

I wonder if mom left him alone often? Did she expect dad back shortly ( and he did not come when expected?) Although totally wrong on all levels... I wonder if mom was between a rock and a hard place... could not afford to lose her job, thought it would be only a few minutes..
I wonder if she was the one who implicated dad to the police?
For some reason I want to give mom the benefit of the doubt on this one...

I was checking in in hopes of finding some happy news here, that Tristan was found, that he got to open his gifts from Santa, that he ate lots of Christmas sweets today... And now this again. There are no words.

^^^^ this is just the sweetest. So perfect for sweet little Tristan. Praying he is found soon. He definitely deserves his special treats from Santa today!

How I wish, like so many others have posted, that I could be spoiling this little guy with love, gifts & sweet treats today, along with my 2 sweet kiddos. I cannot have any more children, and I love the two I have so much, but there are times I yearn for another little one. It breaks my heart that someone didn't see all that this little boy had to offer the world. And took it away - I truly hope the POI is spending today, while behind bars, thinking about what they've done & how it not only will impact the rest of their own life, but the lives of so many others - because there are so many who love & care about Tristan.

So sad. So sorry for little Tristan. Maybe the Christmas miracle was that he is now out of that environment and free to fly as an angel.

My thoughts exactly, pinkfly, and prolly lots of other Sleuthers. And I, too, think the darkness on his forehead is from a blow to his head... Maybe this small pretty angel was given flight in a way that was quick. Now he remembers nothing bad, will never be hurting or fearful of anything. He does not have any bad things in his world now. He is running, laughing, singing, jumping and having all the ice cream and cake he wants.

And I have to say it for all of us: What is wrong with people? To be given such a gift and to throw it away. Makes me wanna holler.

Another thought from this local:
There a lake/reservoir (approx 150 acres) about 2.6 miles from Portree Place -- the lake has a park (as in play & picnic area, etc.) and there are places to park there as well. It is a public area -- but it's mainly for hikers and families, nothing fancy, nothing big-time at all, but access to the park & the lake are easy and free. Nothing goes on there at night -- the park closes at dusk, but one could still get to the water. There is also a bridge over the lake... Just a (horrible) thought.

If the dad was arrested and charged with murder, LE must have a lot more info that we do.

I'm going on a rant, so bare with me. This really pisses me off. There are so many really good people out there that don't and or can't have kids. This is just so despicable. This just boggles my mind. Have the courage and honesty to let them be adopted or placed with someone who truly cares. I just don't understand...whatever. If they caused this little boy harm, I hope they're punished to the fullest extent of the law.

los,

I just found out about this case myself. I've had :earson: since Jayden Morrison went missing with only a few hours of sleep. The thought of these beautiful, innocent, helpless children out there somewhere, especially on Christmas Eve and now into Christmas night literally rips my heart to shreds.

I'm burning the candle at both ends, trying to have hope, and now
trying to process the loss of another precious angel at the hands of his own parents. I have no words. :rose:

I just read Tristan's entire thread, and your post took my breath away. Your words speak to the heart of the issues, for Tristan, and so many of the cases we sleuth here.

Thank you, for speaking to the issues as hand. Keep being a voice for the victims here at WebSleuths.

Together, we must never stop shining light into the darkness. Our work is not don't until we bring them all home.

Agreed. I really hope they throw the book at them. Put them under the jail. :cow:

Is Felony Murder automatically a 1st Degree Murder charge in this jurisdiction? :thinking:

If so, I also wonder if elevated charges could be in the future against "mom" (and used as leverage later down the line for a plea bargain).

To clarify. I hope anyone who contributed to harming a hair on the precious child's head is prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. However, I've been a WSer long enough to know these "deals" happen - and often to my chagrin.

You bet your boots it is, sweet kimi.

In NC, Murder 1st has only two types of sentences for defendants who were at least 18 years old at the time of the murder -- LWOP (and it is LIFE with no parole. Period.) -- and Death.

Thank you terracotta for trying to help search. Bless you!

Thank you LaborDayRN

The officer said to me they won't be needing any help...but if things change they will ask for volunteers. So maybe they know quite a bit. I drove all over that area looking at sides of roads etc. I didn't see anyone searching...of course that doesn't mean they weren't somewhere else.

I don't see any updates. I wonder if the mom did actually see Tristan Wednesday morning....or if she was in on it and he had passed much earlier? Such a sad ending to a such a short life.

I'm not religious but Christmas, even as a secular holiday, is a special time of year. It's a time for little kids to be with those who love and cherish them, for Santa to bring them neat presents, for family visits, for family dinners, for time off from school - a time for memories to be made and kept to enjoy in future years.

Every child deserves that happiness. Tonight, as my husband and I enjoy our traditional Christmas burgers I'll be thinking of all of the children who have had that happiness taken from them. It's not fair.

So here's a Christmas toast to us WebSleuthers;

Let us enjoy peace and happiness during this holiday season. May we always remember the plight of these little ones and do what we can to make the world a better place for them in the short time we have on earth. They deserve nothing less.

Merry Christmas guys.

Killing your child and then reporting him missing on Christmas Eve. That is a whole new low.

Fly with the angels baby Tristan. You're safe now.

You said it all with those six words.

Yes, they had enuff of something or other for it to be considered probable cause which is required for an arrest warrant, and it has to be more than a "feeling." I keep wondering what.... Maybe they found blood in the car -- but what did they have to match it from little Tristan? A hair in a brush? Mom's or dad's DNA? His saliva on a spoon or a bottle? I surely would like to see the arrest warrant since it includes probable cause -- but I'll bet a buck it is sealed.

Dammit, this case just tears me up.

 

[los2188]

Thanks so much. That means a lot to me. More than you know.

 

[Annie1004]

IMHO, for dad to be arrested on murder charges so quickly, LE has the undisputed goods to make the charge stick.

What is especially sad is that Tristan was a beloved child by many friends and relatives according to mom's Facebook.

This should never have happened.

I was thinking about that earlier..what evidence do police have? It must be pretty strong for them to get an arrest warrant for murder without a body, and so soon after he was reported missing.

I know they towed a car from the apartment complex earlier today which seemed to happen shortly before the arrest. I wonder if the answer lies in the car - blood?

I also wonder how this occurred although, honestly, this case has me so sad I'm not sure I want to know. But, what I meant by how it occurred was mom and dad were both gone, he was home alone, then dad comes home and snaps? It just doesn't make sense.

I've been thinking all day of Tristan. This just has me so upset.

Many thanks for the good wishes,:star1: MsMarple. All of us need such goodness, especially when we follow tuff tear-jerkers like this one. Wishing you and your DH and all Sleuthers :websleuther:more than a few happy times and best wishes. May we see quick and fair justice in 2015. :justice:

God bless us every one!

Hugs all around - :grouphug: - and a Big, Big Nod to the :cheer:Mods!:cheer:

 

[JLSChook]

I'm actually not going to pass judgement on the mom yet. I really think she may be a victim herself. I suspect she made terrible decisions but did not purposely put her child in danger. I'll wait to see what the details of her charges are.

I totally disagree. She left a 2 year old home ALONE. That is putting him in extreme danger. Purposely.
Another beautiful life because of so-called parents that have no regard for anyone but themselves. I'm sick of it! :gaah:

RIP Tristan. Fly with the angels, sweetheart. :rose:

One of my first thoughts on the murder charge was "Wow that happened fast." I know judges work all hours, but a warrant on Christmas eve and a murder charge seems like no small task.
