So sad ....

Seach for mom of dead baby continues By Scott E. Williams The Daily News Published February 9, 2008 GALVESTON — The search continued Friday for a woman charged with child endangerment in the death of her infant son. Caren Kohberger remained at large, while the father of her son had been in the Galveston County jail on $1 million bond since Tuesday night. Kohberger, 27, is wanted on a charge of endangering a child issued in Brazoria County, where authorities allege she let Travis “T.J.” Mullis leave their Alvin home with Alijah shortly after 4 a.m. on Jan. 29, even though Mullis had told her he was unstable and could “do something” to the child. A couple found the boy’s body near Galveston’s East End, about five hours after Mullis left the mobile home in Alvin. Kohberger later told police that she told Mullis to take Alijah with him because Mullis had disappeared for days at a time at different points of their relationship, and she thought the child would serve as an anchor to ensure he returned home soon. Later that day, a woman police later identified as Kohberger called the Galveston County Medical Examiner’s Office and Galveston Police Department, saying she believed the dead child she saw on TV news reports was her son. Three days later, the child’s father, Travis “T.J.” Mullis walked into a Philadelphia police station and surrendered. He told investigators there that he had stomped on the baby’s head until his skull caved in because the boy would not stop crying, according to police reports. Mullis has relatives in nearby Maryland and apparently spoke with them, as well as a figure police described only as “a mentor” immediately before turning himself in. Investigators Thursday said they suspected Kohberger was in New York. However, Brazoria County Criminal Disrtrict Attorney Jeri Yenne said Friday that officials were still unsure of the wanted woman’s whereabouts. As the search for Kohberger continued, Galveston County officials continued their probe of the infant’s death, ruled a homicide by blunt force trauma to the head. Galveston County Criminal District Attorney Kurt Sistrunk filed a motion Friday morning to require Mullis to submit to the collection of a DNA sample. Officials likely would compare the sample with evidence collected in the case. Evidence cited in the motion included “a child carrier seat and base, shoes, clothing and vehicle as evidence associated with the murder of the child, Alijah Mullis.” Mullis faces a charge of capital murder. Officials with the district attorney’s office said Mullis’ case was still ongoing and that no decision had been made on whether to seek the death penalty. Kohberger’s charge carries a possible jail term of 180 days to two years, as well as a fine of up to $10,000. Mullis faces another charge, also stemming from claims of erratic behavior on Jan. 29, just hours before he took Alijah from his home for the last time. An 8-year-old girl, daughter of a couple Mullis and Kohberger had lived with, told officials in Brazoria County that Mullis had gotten her out of bed about 2:30 a.m. that morning and had driven her to a nearby school playground. There, the child said, he had told her to take off her pants and then tried to remove them himself when she would not. Investigators said that Mullis himself called his mother on Jan. 29 and recounted the attack on the girl, saying he “snapped out of it” when she started crying and stopped trying to undress her. He drove her home without further incident, according to Brazoria County records. The girl’s claims led Brazoria County officials to charge Mullis with enticing a child, which carries a possible prison term of two to 10 years. Kohberger had told police that Mullis’ excitable state had come about because he was “having flashbacks” to being sexually abused as a child, according to the affidavit that supported her arrest warrant in Brazoria County. Police said they later found records of a relative being convicted of molesting Mullis and spending time in prison more than a decade ago. Yenne asked that anyone who knew Kohberger’s whereabouts call her office, 979-864-1230, or the Brazoria County Sheriff’s Office, 979-265-9310. Reporter Scott E.
