Cops Say Mother Strangled Son, Then Fled

Nearly a week after unearthing a little boy buried beneath an Albuquerque, N.M. playground, police made an arrest in the case.

On May 21, 2009, Albuquerque Police arrested Tiffany Toribio and charged her with an open count of murder in the death of her son, as well as child abuse resulting in death.

Police say that just a few days prior, Toribio strangled her 3-year-old son Ty in the middle of the night, then buried him beneath a swing set.

The investigation started on May 15, 2009, when another child playing on the swing set, discovered Ty's tiny shoe, which eventually led to his body.

At the time, police had no idea who the boy was because no one had reported him missing. Detectives and residents living near the park made a plea to the public for clues as to who the boy whom they named "Baby Justice" could be.

Detectives say shortly after the discovery, they began to receive tips from people who told them that Toribio and her little boy had recently been kicked out of their house and had been staying with friends.

However, tipsters also told police that in more recent days, Toribio had been seen without her son Ty by her side.

The investigation finally led cops to a bus stop where they located Toribio.

Initially, she tried to conceal her identity and even tried to lie about Ty's whereabouts, but police say she finally broke down and told them a heart-breaking story.

According to police, she told them that after getting kicked out of her home, she began to stay with her friends. But eventually, they refused to give her shelter and so she decided to take refuge at a park.

Then, on May 15 at approximately 1 a.m., cops say she told them she decided to kill her son with her bare hands.

She said that she put her hands over his nose and mouth to stop him from breathing. According to investigators, halfway through the act, she had a change of heart and instead began to perform CPR.

Although her resuscitation efforts were successful, she then changed her mind a for second time and allegedly went through with the strangulation.
