 (Above photo credit: CBS Detroit) From 10tv.com: Federal authorities are joining police in southern Michigan in the search for a couple after a 4-year-old girl was found dead New Year's Day with "severe burns." Twenty-four-year-old Candice Renea Diaz, the child's mother, as well as Diaz's boyfriend, 28-year-old Brad Edward Fields, are charged in an arrest warrant approved by the Wayne County Prosecutor's Office with murder, child abuse and torture, reports CBS Detroit. It's unclear whether Fields is the child's father. According to Sumpter Township police, officers responded around 10:45 a.m. Jan. 1 to a report of an unresponsive 4-year-old girl at a residence in a Sumpter Township mobile home community. Upon arrival, CPR was being administered by family members and officers found the child suffering from what police described as "severe burns about her extremities," the station reports. The child was transported to an Ann Arbor hospital where she was pronounced dead. The death was ruled a homicide two days later by the Washtenaw County Medical Examiner, according to police, with evidence of multiple traumatic injuries indicating child abuse. Photos of the two fugitives and a suspect vehicle were released by authorities on Monday. Police say they are believed to be driving a black 2002 Chevrolet Cavalier with Michigan plates DTR1854.
Anyone with information on their whereabouts is asked to call the U.S. Marshal Detroit Fugitive Apprehension Team's 24-hour hotline at 313-234-5656 or the Sumpter Township police at 734-461-4833 ext. 305.www.10tv.com/article/manhunt-after-mich-girl-4-found-dead-severe-burnsThoughts? This is a breaking news case for what should be obvious reasons.

New interview with Brad Fields' cousing says there was a history abuse of the couple, specifically with Fields abusing Diaz. Fields may have been a paranoid schizophrenic on lots of drugs. While I don't want to make excuses, I know what it's like to have family members with mental illness as well, and a lot of it misunderstood- it is a difficult situation. It also sounds like despite the horrible death of the girl, who we now know was named Gabby based on this new article, I do have some sympathy for Candice if she was abused by Brad over the years. It doesn't excuse her if she is believed to be criminally responsible and/or proven to be criminally responsible in a court of law as well, but it might be fair to say this would have never happened had she not wound up with Fields. However, at the end of the day, a 4 year-old girl was still burned to death, leaving her biological father without a daughter (Brad Fields was not the birth father, Candice was the birth mother), and really based on what his cousin says Brad is both a danger to himself, to Candice, and to innocent civilians who come in contact with him while still on the run. www.fox2detroit.com/news/local-news/relative-boyfriend-mother-wanted-for-killing-4-year-old-had-abusive-past |

This is very sad altogether, especially with a 4 year old was burned to death. I remember when my little sister was 4 and it would break anyone’s heart in this case. Brad Fields indeed is the start of all of this and I hope we can find both of them soon.

I'll be surprised if she is released in 30 years. My guess is she'll do close to the max as she should. |
