Murphy's car hit a trailer. Murphy reportedly took Jayden and ran through the woods to his mobile home, where he hid in a cupboard under the sink. The boy's mother found Jayden, not breathing, on the floor. She ran outside and alerted the officers, who were looking for Murphy. Jayden died. Murphy reportedly told police Jayden wasn't breathing after the crash and that he tried to resuscitate him. Police alleged that Murphy covered Jayden's mouth because his cries could have alerted the officers as he ran. An autopsy said Jayden had suffocated. Murphy was initially charged with manslaughter. The charges were dropped because it couldn't be determined if Jayden's death resulted from a criminal act, or an accident. | google.com |
