Samantha Garver and her boyfriend, Sergio Mena, were arrested on suspicion of murder after her 1-year-old son was found with severe burns, authorities said.
A San Bernardino County woman and her boyfriend were arrested on suspicion of murder after the woman’s 1-year-old son was found with severe burns to his body, according to authorities.
Samantha Garver, 33, and her boyfriend, Sergio Mena, 32, were both booked on murder charges Sunday in the death of Henry Wheatley Brown, who had just turned 1 in August. The couple was arrested after the Big Bear Fire Department responded to a home in Sugarloaf and found the baby “suffering severe burns to his body,” the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department said.“Through extensive investigation, it was discovered Wheatley Brown had additional injuries, indicating abuse,” the department said in a news release. The boy was unresponsive and was taken to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
In 2014, due to her failure to comply with the requirements of her sentence, Garver was listed as a fugitive by the court.“Happy birthday, Henry! Everything I do is for you!” she wrote when she started a new job with a vacation home company in August. “So, fitting I would start this job on your first birthday. I love you, little booger.”According to investigators, Melissa Damron locked her son out of the car and drove away as he chased her, before he fell into the road and was run over.
“Normally, I would offer this to a new mom for free, but I am in a bind and need to raise the rest of the money we need to get a room tonight and have a place to stay for one more night,” she wrote.Noah Goldberg covers breaking news for the Los Angeles Times.
