Prescious Doe Identity Finally Revealed

Snapshots In My Time...
Of My Time.....Hauntings.

I was watching the news last friday and learned about Prescious Doe. I had not heard anything about her before and i wonder why. Her story is just about as bad as I have ever heard.

More than four years after her headless body was found, a child known nationally as "Precious Doe" has been identified, and her mother and stepfather face murder charges in her killing, authorities in Kansas City, Missouri, said Thursday.

Erica Michelle Maria Green was shy of her fourth birthday when she died. Officers were searching for a missing elderly man when they found her body in a wooded area near a church April 28, 2001. Her head, wrapped in a trash bag, was found nearby a few days later.

Police, unable to identify the child, named her Precious Doe. Law enforcement and the community banded together to solve the case. CNN

The parents were charged and arrested last week. Apprently the father got mad at Erica and kicked her in the head. She fell to the floor and never really got up again. For 2 days her parents let her stay there on the floor dying. After 2 days she no longer moved. Then the parents disposed of the body. The father cut her head off and finally after all these years of missing someone called in with a tip and was able to give the police DNA from a hair brush.....it was another family member who called in the tip...and it was confirmed that the little girl was Erica. From watching the weekend news, this family member called in to the police directly about a year ago but the police thought it was a joke so they never did anything more with the investigation. The family member then decided to call the minister in that area who has been on a crusade each year to reopen the case. The minister took the same tip to the police and this time decided to act on it.

I thought that the purpose of the police was to follow up on leads..all of them...to solve cases. This was not a tip, this was the identiy and dna to prove who the child was. Why didn't they act on it? Another case of barney fife police! Unfortunatey they are everywhere.

At least the case is finally solved and Erica can be finally at peace.

This story about Erica is disturbing to me because of what I saw when I was a little girl, in the car, in the store parking lot alone in the car waiting for my parents to finish shopping. What happened that day is here: Girl in the Trunk

No one believed me. I still wonder if that little girl I saw is alive today.
