Found Deceased TX - Sherin Mathews, 3, Richardson, 7 Oct 2017 #4

[lonetraveler]

So he went in with his attorney and changed his story. I wonder if his attorney helped him with that.

Well, if his attorney didn't help him with that statement the attorney didn't earn his pay.

What kind of deal could he got? Usually the deals come for giving location of body. I hope he doesn’t get any deal.

Lesser charges..

One thing I've never understood from the beginning.......................WTH tries to get a child to drink milk at 3 am, much less punish them not drinking it? IMO, that is just whacko right there!!

He also says the mother is cooperating as far as identification.

I think he changes his story, just a little bit.
It will all come out.

I believe he has implicated another person also. The police spokesperson said there may be another arrest. It could only be one other person in my opinion.

Very interesting wording from Richardson PD - not that he confessed to anything, but that he "provided an alternate statement of events from those which he had given previously, regarding the disappearance of Sherin."

Thank you. Well said. She isn’t a suspect nor has she been charged with any crime. That might or might not change.

It actually bothers me that so many people on social media are also blaming mom. I'll definitely admit I'm wrong if that's the case, but I really don't have a problem believing she was asleep. Plenty of dads take an active role in child rearing. I know many of them. In fact, most of my friends with kids do things pretty 50/50. If one parent is up with the child in the middle of the night, the other is asleep unless there's an emergency. Also, considering her situation, I can understand her being stoic in court today. I'm the type to be numb around others when I'm suffering, and breakdown in private.

I agree.

He also stated the Mom is cooperating in the identification only and will not comment on anything else. I'm not accusing Mom, just stating what the spokesperson said in his report.

Here is the police briefing on the new arrest

Great news. It sounds like he went in and confessed. I hope he told them the entire story. Now I am wondering why he wanted the child hearing postponed if he knew he was going to confess today and be in jail?

Wesley is being held on a $1 million bond at the Richardson City Jail.

From your link (bbm):

Police said that Sini is helping to identify the body and will possibly provide dental records, Fox 4 reported.

Thanks, and thx for the link! Just got back in and will take a look, at least until my eyes glaze over. (The things you learn researching cases, sometimes... I'm not a natural in the sciences, but specific questions will get me reading up on things I'd never normally be interested in.)





Agree with Inthedetails--it'd be my first guess that LE were looking for something related to the case that may have been purposely dropped down into the sewer (this is a sewer near the culvert where she was found). Possibly even looking for a murder weapon if they're headed that direction, theory-wise. (A knife or other puncture-type weapon?)

While I've heard of kids going down storm sewers over the years, these ones on Spring Valley and Bowser look like they have openings too narrow to allow the head of a child to pass through. JMO, though; I may be mistaken.



Thx, osu...whose Twitter account did this photo come from, please? (TIA)

And mom has been seeing the other child once a week. I didn't know that.

Since they arrested him after then I think he did walk in and tell LE what happened.

That is just the way some in LE speak while not giving out any details.

I didn't either. It's not surprising, since she herself was not charged with anything. There is really no reason to not allow it, from a CPS perspective.

I expect visitation rights to change very soon. JMO.
