A 20 Year Old Florida Mom Was Found Dead & Hours Later Her 2 Year Old Son Was Found Dead Inside Of An Alligator Mouth. The Father Will Be Charged With 2 Counts Of Murder. (Read More Here).
A body of a missing two-year-old boy was found inside an alligator’s mouth after his mother was found stabbed to death in her apartment.
Taylen Mosley, of St. Petersburg, Florida, was reported missing on Thursday after his mother Pashun Jeffery, 20, was found dead in her Lincoln Shores apartment from stab wounds. On Friday evening, Taylen was found dead inside an alligator’s mouth in Dell Holmes Park – around 10 miles from his mother’s home. Officers confirmed it was the little boy after killing the animal. A medical examiner is determining his cause of death. Police announced he was a ‘person of interest’ after locating him in hopes of finding Taylen, who was not in his custody at the time.
Thomas had checked himself into hospital and was said to be covered in cuts on his arms and hands, according to NBC News. As of Friday, he remains in the hospital, the police chief said.
Thomas did not speak with investigators. Holloway said: ‘The father is not talking to us.’
Family members saw the mother and son on Wednesday around 5.30pm and asked for a welfare check the following day after they were unable to contact her.
Neighbors said they heard a loud commotion near the apartment around 8.30 that night, but police were not called. Shortly after the commotion at the apartment, Thomas showed up at his mother’s house covered in cuts. Detectives now believe that 21-year-old Thomas Mosley murdered his own child along with the boy’s mother, and he has been charged with the first-degree murder of both. St. Petersburg Police Chief Anthony Holloway told a press conference held on Friday night. “We are sorry it has had to end this way.”
Sniffer dogs, drones, and search teams had been deployed to try and find the missing child. Officers who had been searching Lake Maggiore a few miles away from his home spotted an alligator “with an object in its mouth,” the chief revealed. Horrifyingly, they soon realized it was a toddler, and an officer fired a shot at the reptile, who dropped the body. “We were able to retrieve Taylen’s body intact,” the chief said. The alligator was later euthanized.
The cause of death for Taylen has not yet been revealed and it remains unclear whether the alligator played a role in his passing. Jeffery had been repeatedly stabbed, according to local news channel NBC Miami.
Thomas Mosley is currently hospitalized with cuts on his hands and arms and “is not talking to us,” Holloway said. It is unclear how Mosley sustained the injuries, with police not yet revealing how they occurred.
