On the morning of January 29th, 2008 Travis and an 8 y.o girl were the only two up. He asked the little girl if she wanted to go to the playground to play. She said "yes". What child doesnt want to go to the playground? Although her intentions were to play, Travis' intention were a bit more dark. His intentions were to have sex with her. This little girl was having none of that and refused to pull her pants down, and after he tried to pull them down himself, she said "no, take me home". Good for her.
Back at the trailer, Caren hands her 3 month son Alijah to his dad, after the statement was made that he had to get out of the house or he will hurt one of the kids. Wow, that is such the person to hand your infant too.
***Before I go on, it gets graphic, so consider yourself warned***
Fast forward a few hours. Couple Jessie Zaro and wife, Esmeralda were out looking for wildlife, but what they found instead will stay with them forever. They originally thought it too be a doll. The legs and feet were visible, the arms rested up by the head. But the "doll" they saw was not a doll at all, instead it was a dead baby. The couple place a chilling call to 911. And police were able to determine who the baby was and his presence due to phone calls made by Caren to area hospitals asking if her baby and boyfriend had checked in.
After being on the run, Travis was finally turned himself in, and told cops he was ready to talk. I am sure they were not expecting to hear what he was about to tell them.
Travis' account:
Because of what happened days earlier with the 8 y.o little girl, he was worried about being evicted by her mother. Travis had reached his breaking point. His infant son was crying, he couldnt get him to stop. The only way to get him to stop was to kill him. (Not hold him, feed him or change him.) He said he put his hands around Alijah's throat and applied pressure with his thumbs. He heard him gurgling, he stopped. But Alijah started crying again. This time he put his son the the concrete part of the berm, and stomped his son's head. Not once, not twice, but three or four times, until he felt the baby's skull collapse under his shoe. Then he got scared. So he throw the car seat and throw it, then grabbed Alijah but the legs and threw him in the same direction. "I had to get it away from me. I was scared of it." That's from his mouth.
Travis was charged with capital murder. And the state will be seeking the death penalty. If ever there was a person who deserved to be there, its this piece of shit! His attorney is an equal piece of shit, for taking the case and saying stupid shit like, Travis is not guilty of capital murder, he did not intentionally kill his son. Wow. Really? Well what did "daddy of the year" think was going to happened when he stomped on the head of a 3 month baby three or four times? How wasnt it intentional, he tried to choke the baby. UPDATE: From what I gather Caren Kohberger will also be charged with child endangerment for handing Travis Alijah after he said what he said about leaving the house.
It's stories like these that make you wish you could reach out and touch these parents. I have no doubt that Travis will receive the death penalty. All I can say is now Alijah is with God and the angels. Sleep well baby boy.
Oh my! I have never heard anything more shocking or terrible. I just hope his death was fast and he didn't suffer. Poor baby boy. I hope that guy gets raped in prison. How can anyone hurt a little baby.
