Attorneys said Rhodes lied for a week about the crime and then covered it up.

They also say he confessed to detectives and abused the boy and his the child’s body. And say there was blood on a wall and the boy’s soiled clothing was discovered.

I try hard to stick to my rule of “never look at the comments on news articles.” But sometimes I just can’t help myself. I’ve learned a few things over the years, including that some people believe that a body is necessary or that some states are “no body, no charge” states. I wouldn’t be surprised if the guy believes this.

OMG! This I have NO words, other than what I can’t say here.

i was a single mom for many years and never trusted anyone around my kids outside of the trusted daycare provider and family. i know stats show its fam that sa kids but i trusted mine and ALSO told my kids way too young about abuse s and otherwise to the point they are paranoid. i know i didnt have the trauma this mom and some others have had but i felt like no one is gonna protect my kids if i dont.

2-year-old killed by his mothers boyfriend and tonight Amari’s grandmother speaks out. She believes her daughter knew about the whole thing. Amari was her only grandchild. “Being a mom is super awesome to me, but being a grandma was even better. He melted my heart.” #8NN

This really p*se*s me off, In the edited Vt above she does NOT say this. Even if it is edited, if she did say it, it would be quoted and it isn't. Shoddy journalism again. If she did say it, it's really insensitive soo soon after. Just let it play out, Grandma.

It’s odd that he confessed but won’t tell where the body’s at..

He probably doesn't want anyone to see what kind of damage he did to the little guy.

It’s odd that he confessed but won’t tell where the body’s at..

It’s the only bargaining chip he has. IMO He’s hoping to trade that information for something that would benefit him.

 

[tlcya]

He's hoping to leverage giving up location of remains into some lesser plea. Disgusting piece of work.

There’s video surveillance because police were able to ascertain no one came there that morning and left with a child.
(Unless law enforcement was bluffing)
He had to carry the baby out in something- how long are recordings stored typically?

Did Tyrell have a car?

Did he call Uber or Lyft?

if no....that baby is hidden close by.

I'm just going to leave some snips from article here. Best I add no commentary.
------------------------------------
Nicholson, who’d traveled on April 30 to tend to her mother following surgery, said that Rhodes had been upset about the trip but didn't further explain the argument, only noting that both had escalated it.

[snip]

“We’re just devastated and hoping for the best,” Nicholson said in the May 7 interview. “We just want our baby back as soon as possible, in the best condition possible."

“Terrell loves Amari like he’s his own,” Nicholson added. “He’s been the one who’s been taking care of Amari. Amari loves Terrell just as much as he does."

Howard added that Nicholson was supposed to buy a ticket for Armani so he could go to Colorado as well, but at the last minute, decided to leave the boy with Rhodes.

CBS Vegas said a reporter contacted Nicholson to get additional information, but she apparently hung up on the reporter.

"I never said anybody was coming to get anybody but I did say somebody would be by," Nicholson said.

Tayler Nicholson said she made the comment someone would stop by after she argued with the boyfriend who was upset she was out of town.

“I said somebody would be pulling up and I’ll let you know when, but I never said for what or anything. I was a misunderstanding we had our little disagreement. And I’m poking the bear and he’s poking the bear back, so I let out the comment and coincidentally it matches the situation that we’re in,” Tayler Nicholson said.

I believe Rhodes is too dumb to have left his cell phone behind when disposing of the body so I am confident phone records will give LE some areas to focus searches on. Sadly, I suspect Amari was tossed in a dumpster and it has long since gone to the landfill.

I predict more charges and I’ll leave it right there for now.

She doesn't come right out and accuse her daughter of knowing. I think it's pretty obvious however that she is upset with her daughter. I guess time will tell who knew what........when.

I am so thankful Amari has been found.
