I've read it's being said she was punched in the stomach and died from those injuries. That's not a gentle death if it's true. It's a horrific, violent and painful way for anyone to die. Then her dead body is said to have been placed in a refrigerator before it was dumped on Deer Island. Because they were looking for the right place to dump a 'demon possessed' body, or because they realized they'd brutalized and murdered a small child and were trying to not get caught? My money is on the latter.

Excuse me for not buying what those who apparently killed this child are selling. Just because they're looking for a way to validate what they did after they got caught doesn't mean much of anything to me. They knew what they'd done was wrong, that's why they covered up the death they way they did.
