From abc6onyourside.com:
OLUMBUS, Ohio (WSYX/WTTE) — A Columbus woman is wanted for murder in the October 2019 death of her 2-year-old son.
Tina Ann Dayton, 22, has been charged with the murder of 2-year-old Clifford Stark, according to court documents.
On October 7, 2019, Columbus police responded to 4603 Refugee Road on the report of an injured 2-year-old child. The child was rushed to the hospital, where doctors discovered he was bleeding internally, causing his condition to worsen.
The child died the following day.
An autopsy revealed the child suffered a broken arm, bruising on the forehead and a lacerated liver. Investigators determined the child's death was caused by blunt force trauma and manner to be a homicide, court documents said.
In February, Columbus police said the child's death had been ruled a homicide.
At the time of the incident, court document said Dayton was the only adult in the residence, along with the child's young siblings.
During an interview with police, Dayton suggested the child fell off a bed while playing. Court documents said doctors said the injuries are not consistent with that explanation.
Columbus police say Dayton is most likely with Clifford A. Stark Jr. Anyone with information on her whereabouts is asked to call the Columbus Police Homicide Unit at (614) 645-4730 or Central Ohio Crime Stoppers at (614) 461-TIPS.

Thoughts? As of this posting date (March 25th, 2020):, a search of Franklin County (Ohio) online court records shows there has been no movement in the murder case against Dayton since a warrant was issued for her back on March 6th, 2020: www.fcmcclerk.com/case/view
Additionally, we can follow the case based on the Columbus Divison of Police's Facebook postings: "https:// www.facebook.com/ColumbusPolice/posts/10157184887846762"
Also, as far as I can tell, Clifford Stark Jr. is only believed to be traveling with Tina Dayton. Nothing in any articles states he's considered a fugitive as well, it doesn't make him an upstanding citizen and Franklin County's online court records shows he's been charged in a few other types of cases, but nothing suggests he's accused in this particular case so I wanted to stress that for fairness and accuracy purposes.
