I saw that too, looks like him doesn't it?

Like who?

Like who?

I don't think that's him MR

About this video of TP and King... I had actually been looking at her SM to see if I could find video or pics of King. After seeing that video, I'm left stunned. Something is not right there obviously. It made me so uncomfortable that I stopped watching it. Poor King. He was failed. He deserved better than this. That is not a normal display to put on with a child in the room. Ugh. IMO

That video is gross. That dancing is meant for a pole and adult eyes, not a 2 year old.

Tianna Parks is now listed as female in the facility she is in, so we can put an end to any more rumors.

I don't know how to provide a link to the document, but she is in the Detention Center. They provide medical and mental health services there.

This post lands at random.

Please stop speculating on gender and read The Rules. Discussion of orientation is a violation of TOS unless it is known to be relevant to the case.

Just bringing forward this reminder.

I assume LE can’t talk to someone when they are in there?

I would think they still can because it's a corrections facility. But now that she has a lawyer it may be hard to get anymore information from her. Still, I hope LE are making progress and have found more evidence. They need to find the body. I'm afraid the more time that goes by the less chance they will ever find out what happened to King. His family needs closure.

Good morning fellow sleuthers. I can’t help feeling that adding insult to injury and tragedy to tragedy, the more time that goes by the less likely this baby will ever be found. Even should there be a confession and an admission of what was done with beautiful little King’s body, I think he’s long gone and a recovery is likely impossible.

At least own up to what you did and save the family and the justice system the time and money of prosecuting you. You owe that poor baby that much.

 

[Hereshecomes75]

In cases where someone is arrested for murder and the body has yet to be located, I can’t help but think that a long, fruitless search by LE and the family’s agonized wait builds a lot of bad will toward the accused.

If it was truly an accident and you panicked and discarded the body, I think it would be best just to confess and give all the details. Finding the body could actually work in your favor in that case.

But I guess if you did something terrible intentionally or as part of something else nefarious, you’d want to let the search for the body drag on, so the evidence is less conclusive, if they find the body at all. Seems diabolical to me.

TP’s defense attorney looks aggressive. I would think a public defender would encourage TP toward a deal (give them details on how and where, in exchange for lighter sentence, preferred facility or whatnot).

With TP’s hospitalization, there was a local MSM media report questioning whether mental health will play a role in this case. Murder of King Hill affects Philadelphia area

I worry that the combination of an aggressive defense attorney plus the potential mental health aspect could make for a more complicated path that could slow down resolution in the case. I hope I’m wrong. All JMO.

We felt that we knew where this was going. Poor little guy.

Philadelphia babysitter charged with murder of missing 2-year-old boy

PHILADELPHIA (CBS Philadelphia) -- Authorities say the babysitter of 2-year-old King Hill was arrested in connection to his death. The District Attorney’s Office and police confirm 24-year-old Tianna Parks has been charged with murder.
[...]
Officers arrested Parks after the investigation uncovered cellphone video confirming the child was killed.

The Philadelphia Inquirer reports Parks faces charges of murder, endangering the welfare of a child, abuse of a corpse, and related offenses, officials with the Philadelphia Police Department, the District Attorney’s Office, and the FBI said Monday.

Investigators believe Parks killed King well before police were called about his disappearance.

That's what I keep thinking about. Investigators don't seem to know how King died or what the circumstances were.

If it was an accident I would think her attorney would want her to tell them where the body is.

I guess it's possible that she did tell them. Some have speculated the body might be in a landfill. If she disposed of it in a dumpster they may never find him.

 

[claudicici]

There is so much that infuriates me about this case I can barely rake it The fact that she has fancy defense counsel,that she does not give away the location of precious King so he can be laid to rest INTENT to kill, that's what probably gets me the most It looks like this was not an accident....why,why,why? Was she setting AH up on purpose? The vehicle in her story in fact matches AH, we know that from snooping around in social media so if she did not know her prior she must have done the same or did she know her after all? Was this some type of revenge? She just seems sicker and sicker the more I think about it....

No I'm not sure I want to know at this point I don't think we'll know until trial....

 

[Hereshecomes75]

Under what circumstances would you make a video that would confirm a child’s death? Would you be videoing something “fun” that went tragically wrong?

Looks like MR is not talking either.

...or something that makes a lot of money? I can't shake those horrible thoughts after what I saw that is public......
