Mark Weisbord was excited. After buying a house in Tucson, Arizona, to move in with his family, he decided to go to the property to clean and transform it. But the smile on his face did not last long. When he arrived at the address, found the body of a three-year-old boy in a toy chest.

The victim was one of four children of the couple who previously lived in this house. According to the chain Fox NewsBoth parents, Raquel Barreras and Martin, were arrested in March 2014 for the murder of the boy.

During the Barriers trial, which was only this year, the woman pleaded guilty to killing the starving child. Her defense tried to pretend to mitigate the fact that she was an addict and that she was going through a difficult economic period.

According to the autopsy, the boy died between early 2013 and January 2014 due to lack of food and neglect. The rest of his brothers, who were rescued and turned over to child protection services, showed no signs of abuse. But it has been found that they do not go to school regularly.

The investigators confirmed that the parents tried to hide the crime by hiding the victim's body in the trunk. But when they sold the house They forgot to take it out.

Weisbord found the skull and other human bones. Immediately, he denounced the fact to the authorities. During these five years, the police determined that it was Barreras that prevented them from feeding their son. For her part, her husband was considered an accomplice and will face justice in August of this year.
