The girl's mother told police that she awoke at 4 a.m. and saw that the baby was not in bed. Yelton said she went to the bathroom door and found it locked. She could hear the shower and "unusual heavy breathing from her baby," Burdt wrote in his report. "She begins to panic and screams and bangs on the door. After a while, Mr. Gifford answers the door. She advised that they were both naked and the baby was wet. She observed that the baby's lips had blood and that there was blood on her ears."
Yelton also noticed that there was a bruise on the girl's forehead "which wasn't there when she put her to bed," the corporal wrote. "She asked him what he was doing with her, and he advised that he had noticed that she had blood on her ears, so he gave her a shower. He also told her that she was fussy, and that she had fallen.
"The woman told police she dried the girl, dressed her, put her to bed and went back to sleep. Yelton said she checked on the child about 8 a.m. and returned to bed. When she checked her again at 11 a.m., she noticed the baby's face was swollen. It was then that she took her to the hospital."
According to the two the POS drank a half gallon of wine. The poor girl has been released which is good news.
