TX - Cash Gernon, 4, found dead in street w/multiple wounds, Dallas, 15 May 2021 *ARREST*

[sloane7777]

Did DB’s mother confirm he was at home during that time period? Yet he went BACK to the house where the twins were staying?
And on camera?
WTH?

Well clearly thats denial or an outright lie

Two things to say—neither pleasant, so read with caution:
1. Years ago we had someone sneak into our very small home and rob us while my husband and I were asleep. We didn't wake up. Even our (indoor) Rottweiler and English bulldog didn't alert us. We were shocked that was even possible. Some people are expert creepers apparently. With Cash and Carter's room toward the back of the house, kind of separated, I can believe nobody woke up when Cash was taken, assuming he never screamed. And assuming DB was an expert creeper. :-(
2. I've witnessed a terrible plane crash scene in a neighborhood. Within 15 minutes of the crash, ants were crawling on the remains of crash victims. In case you were wondering how ants could already be on poor Cash within a half hour or so of his demise. :-(

Mod Note:
As previously stated, sleuthing the parents is off limits as they have not been named POI’s in this case. Discussing where the father may or may not be at this time is sleuthing him.

Do we know if the police came to the burglary call, maybe it was a red herring so to say can I speculate on that without accusing?

Honestly I have no idea if police came. I was born and raised in Dallas though and im sure since it wasnt an active burglary the police didnt come. Theres so many police calls in Dallas I dont think the call would have been high on the list. 10 years ago I had to call for an assault in progress that was domestic. Was told they would get to it when they could. A little while later I had to call back and request an ambulance and thats when it became more of a priority. As far as property damage or your vehicle being broken into.. You can just forget it. They dont have time for any of that stuff.

*NOT BASHING DALLAS POLICE. THEY ARE VERY VERY BUSY!

That is useful info to know. Thanks.

I'm thinking that it's not that the people in the house didn't know Cash was missing that morning, but perhaps they were, instead, trying to find him on their own at first.

I'd like to know the order of the events - did they call to report Cash was missing before or after Moori walked around the neighborhood and found the commotion where the body was. My hunch is the call was made after he returned home with that info. ?

But there still seems like a long lag, so idk.

Agree on #1. With several people living in the house, even if you heard a rustling or something at 5 am or 6:30 am you wouldn’t probably think anything of it. You wouldn’t jump out of bed unless you heard screaming or something. I mean, even if you heard a kid call “mom?” You might lift your head and listen and if no further disturbance, go back to sleep. (#momlife)

Separately, I doubt there was a 7:27 am 911 call. I bet that’s just what time they coded the burglary offense in the crime mapping system. I bet the only 911 call from Florina Pkwy was the missing child call confirmed by DPD. But let me know if I missed something.

That's a good point. How does that crime map work? Time of 911 call or time of reported incident??

Maybe she estimated the 7:27 break-in while talking later that morning to LE about Cash missing. That really makes more sense, right?

Hey folks,

After repeated reminders NOT to sleuth or negatively discuss ANYone who has not been named a suspect or POI in this case by LE, some members have continued to do so in defiance of the TOS. In fairness to the members who are following the Websleuths rules, that leaves us no choice but to limit posting privileges of those members who continue to violate the TOS we all agreed to when we joined.

To all who make the effort to post respectfully and responsibly on Websleuths, THANK YOU.

I wonder why he was not reported missing until 11 am?

I don't know much about this case, but it appears that the children were not living with their parents. A "guardian". And it sounds like the house had several other people living there. Seems to be a pretty disorganized living situation. Doesn't surprise me that Cash wasn't deemed "missing" until everyone in the house was actually awake, and noticed he was gone, which may have been late morning.

I am interested in the accused, had he been in the house previously? Did he know the door was unlocked? He seemed to know his way around the home, even in the dark.

I would love to see the tape .

Know where to locate the video?

In the kidnapping video the sun is completely up when he comes back. Sunrise in Dallas, Texas on May 15th was 6:28 AM. The 911 call was made at approximately 6:40 AM. Was he in that house while police were there with Cash?? Also, police believe Cash was killed around 5:30 AM. Again, with the sun rising at 6:28 that means he had about an hour between the killing and being back at the house. I wonder what he did with that hour (or longer?) since he certainly didn't spend much time disposing of the body?

Am I the only who thinks it looks like it could be two different abductors. The one where Cash is taken looks like he's wearing glasses?

It does to me but its hard to tell

I think it's one abductor, the person who was arrested for kidnapping.

I dont want to know what he did to that poor boy

I would like to have a full report of the autopsy. Otherwise, it would appear to be a circumstance of "media bias" when we get full results for autopsies of some murder cases, but not all.

It’s a 4 minute video in that article.
