Texas Man Allegedly Killed Baby by Stuffing Her into Backpack He Placed in Trunk of Car TRIGGER WARN

A Texas man is being held on a capital murder charge and $2 million bond after allegedly leaving a 10-month-old baby in a backpack — which he then left in the trunk of his car for more than five hours.

A statement from the Lubbock Police Department alleges that Trevor Rowe, 27, picked up the child at his home Tuesday morning.

The statement clarifies that Rowe lives with the child’s mother, but is not the victim’s father.

According to police, Rowe brought 10-month-old Marion Rebecca Jester-Montoya with him to his job site on Tuesday. Before leaving his vehicle for work, he allegedly forced the baby into a backpack, which he placed on the front passenger seat floorboard.

This story was already posted yesterday with the exact same headline, and I fail to see what purpose it serves to bring such a story to General Discussion on DU.

There's a True Crime forum for people who want to feed on a diet of the horrors that humans are capable of inflicting on other humans.

Please post this story there.

politely pointed out that it was posted earlier, instead of giving me a lecture, I would have deleted my post.
