http://www.kiiitv.com/Global/story.asp?S=13707018A young mother who stands accused of an unthinkable crime. That mother, from San Diego, Texas, was arrested and charged with capital murder in connection with the death of her 2 year old daughter. The child's father is also facing the same charge. Law officers are calling this one of the most disturbing cases of child abuse they've ever seen.
Sources have told 3 News that the little girl, identified as Davynna Sanchez had chunks of missing hair, and bruising. A neighbor says he just saw her in the family's front yard a few days ago, and that she look fine. But authorities are painting a different picture. Both her parents, Melissa Flores along with the child's biological father, David Sanchez, were arrested and questioned earlier today at the Jim Wells county sheriff's office after signs of extreme abuse.
This all happened after authorities say Flores called emergency services to tell them her daughter had fallen off the bed and wasn't breathing. Residents say the little girl's body was removed from the families home on the 400 block of North street in San Diego this morning. She was later pronounced dead at Christus Spohn in Alice. Texas rangers are now investigating along with CPS.
3 News also learned that the 2 year old may have just been returned to the custody of her mother this past summer after being placed with another family member. That part is being investigated, she was in the custody of another family not sure if it was a cps placement or volunteer placement that part is being investigated.
Authorities say the mother has other children. Those children are said to be in the custody of their own biological father. The 2 year old's parents have since been transported to the Duval county jail facing charges of capital murder. At this point, a bond has not been set.
