Kimberly Trenor trial: 1/28 afternoon update

Morning testimony in the baby grace murder trial focused on deputies, one of whom took a harrowing statement from the mother of Riley Ann Sawyers and another who helped identify the child’s body that had been dumped in Galveston Bay.

The fisherman who found the box containing the girl’s body in the bay at first thought it might have contained someone’s pet. Instead the pink tennis shoe signaled it was a child.

Another officer who was investigating leads said he believed Kimberly Trenor’s claim that her child had been taken back to Ohio by CPS. Later, doubts began to set in about Trenor’s story, because, he said she was reluctant to cooperate.
