TRIGGER: Child Death Mentioned

The remains of a young boy missing since 2004 was found in the trunk of his mothers car, Virginia State Police have confirmed, WVEC-TV reports.



According to the reoprt, 44-year-old Tonya Slaton was pulled over in Hampton on Interstate 64 earlier this month for a traffic stop for expired tags. The trooper that pulled her over noticed a large white spot on the floorboard behind the driver's seat that Slayton attributed to spilled bleach.



When the trooper went to open the trunk - in which Slaton insisted she only had clothes - the trooper said that he smelled "rotting flesh." Slaton began to throw clothes on top of the spare tire. Upon further inspection, the trooper found two plastic bags wrapped in duct tape with human remains.


Those remains have been positively identified as Slaton's son, Quincy Jamar Davis, who has been missing since 2004, when the young boy was in the seventh grade at Virginia Beach Middle School. Davis would have turned 25 last Tuesday.





The 44-year-old mom has been charged with concealment of a dead body the news station notes, and has been held in Hampton Roads Reginional Jail without bond. More charges are expected to be brought in the case.



Officers have not disclosed how or when the young boy died.

Oh man. That poor kid

[laurenpetro]

Also.

Can I be a bit awful here?

Are you telling me that not once in 8 YEARS she drove by a place and thought "huh, that would be a good place to hide a body"?

....am I the only one who does this? Not that I would ever actually NEED to hide a body. Promise. (huh)

[anonymous]

jesus. how did no one else notice a smell?

LOL NO

but then again, i look at places and assess their zombie survival advantages. 

so different strokes

Oh I do this too. And I plan where my family would meet up if there were a disaster and we had to leave town on foot.

....funny enough it eases my anxiety to pretend like I can prepare for these things.

O.k. - I have to ask. It's been 11 years. Would the remains still smell? And if so... in ALL of these 11 years no one else noticed? She had to have had the car serviced at some point, I'd think. Well, assuming it's the same car. But if it's not- she transferred the body to a new car?!

QUestions.

I'm going to hell, but I thought to myself that I've definitely cleaned out my trunk at some point in the past 11 years. Also, did she not think that maybe someday she'd have to get a new car? Was there a plan for that scenario?

[Elsa]

I totally thought the article said 2007. 2004?! OVER A DECADE?!

She definitely drove past good places to hide a body in 11 years. 8 years, meh, maybe not. But definitely in 11 years.

There wouldn't be a rotting flesh smell because the flesh would have decomposed over a decade ago. And I'd think it's the same car given the bleach stain. Maybe she does her own oil changes?

[silverjm]

Maybe she had him in the freezer for the last decade and just finally decided to get rid of the body.

I was thinking that the body was frozen for all those years and she put it in the trunk recently to dispose of it but in the meantime the body started to defrost.  That would explain the smell (I think).

I'm here. I think she had him hidden somewhere and finally decided to do something about it... and then didn't get around to it?

This is what happens when you don't write out a to-do list and try to just remember everything on it.

What the fuck. Too many questions that I'm not sure I really want answers to.

Well we don't actually know if the kid has been dead for that long. Just that he's been missing.

But yeah, I have no idea how long human remains smell. But they probably weren't in the car this entire time, I'd think...?

Yeah, this is horribly morbid to think about, but either the body has been in a freezer for the last 11 years, or he's been locked up somewhere and she only recently killed him, because I'm pretty sure a body wouldn't still be decomposing after 11 years.  Since they haven't released any information on the age he was when he died, there's no way to tell which of those scenarios it is. 

[litebright]

Oh, man.

Although my first thought was that this was going to be about the little boy in the Pacific NW who was left in a car by the side of the road and there was a lot of suspicion that he was dead and his mother was involved. I wonder if they'll ever find him. Sky Metalwala: www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/sky-metalwalarsquos-disappearance-still-an-active-investigation-after-3-years/

Can't I do both?

[sangria]

Jesus. THEY DIDN'T SEARCH HER SHIT BACK IN 2004??

[MrsAxilla]

WHY THE FUCK DID SHE CONSENT TO A SEARCH?!? Rule Number One: NEVER consent to a search, ESPECIALLY is there are drugs or dead bodies in the car. Fuck.

I wonder how this went down. Did she consent or did the trooper just do it?

That is an interesting point.  It said, "Slaton began to throw clothes on top of the spare tire." Like she was trying to hide the body as the trooper was poking around in the trunk.  You would think a trooper doing a search of a vehicle wouldn't want the driver touching anything in the trunk in case there was a weapon buried under clothing.

That poor baby .

Don't worry, guys. I will bump this thread when her ID Channel special airs and answer all of these questions.

I don't know.  It says "When the trooper went to open the trunk - in which Slaton insisted she only had clothes - the trooper said that he smelled "rotting flesh."

So it sounds like she consented.  Maybe "Mind if I look in the trunk?"  "Of there's nothing but old clothes in there!"  "Mind if I look anyway?"  "I gues......"

NEVER CONSENT, PEOPLE!!  GET A WARRANT!

[ChillyMcFreeze]

Yeah, I'm thinking the body hasn't been in the car all this time. He might not have even been dead all this time. There's a whole lot could have happened between 2004 and now.
