Grand jury indicts custodial dad, girlfriend for murder by abuse; dad had previous record of cocaine abuse, but got custody anyway (Gresham, Oregon)

We've reported on custodial dad CHRISTOPHER "ANDY" ROSILLO before, who has now been indicted on murder and murder by abuse charges in the death of his 5-year-old daughter. Authorities say that abuse spanned more than 3 years, suggesting that this idiot has had custody of the girl since she was at least 2 years of age. But why? How did he get custody and who gave it to him? The press is still not following up on this, though this story broke nearly 2 weeks ago. And now that we know about Dad's violent criminal and drug-infested record, somebody really needs to be held accountable for giving this idiot custody. What did you ya'll think would happen when you gave a cokehead custody of a 2-year-old child? Let's see the names, people.

Grand jury indicts dad, girlfriend for murder by abuse

A Gresham father has been charged with murdering his 5-year-old daughter in what is described as a pattern of abuse spanning more than three years.

Multnomah County grand jurors indicted Christopher “Andy” Rosillo, 23, on two counts of murder and two counts of murder by abuse in what law enforcement officials are calling the worst case of child abuse and neglect they’ve investigated.

Gresham police found the victim, Oleander Labier, unconscious and not breathing at about 11:45 a.m. Tuesday, April 13, after responding to a report of an injured child at 418 S.E. 169th Ave., just north of Southeast Stark Street.

Officers arrived as the girl was being taken to Adventist Medical Center, where she was pronounced dead.

The girl was 2 when her father and his fiancée, Guadalupe “Lupé” Quintero, 23, began abusing her around her second birthday in February of 2007, according to court documents.

Grand jurors also indicted Quintero, Rosillo’s girlfriend of five years, on two counts of murder by abuse. She is not the victim’s biological mother but does have two children, a 3-year-old girl and 1-year-old boy, with Rosillo.

Both children have been taken into protective custody and do not appear to have been abused, police said.

A total of 26 people testified before the grand jury over three days between Wednesday, April 21, and Friday, April 23, said Nathan Vasquez, a Multnomah County deputy district attorney prosecuting the case.

The murder-by-abuse charges allege that Rosillo and Quintero are responsible for the girl’s death as a result of a pattern of assault, neglect and maltreatment.

The murder charges against Rosillo allege that he caused the girl’s death by assaulting her.

Although the medical examiner’s office won’t release the girl’s official cause of death until its investigation is complete, it has concluded the girl died of homicidal violence.

Rosillo and Quintero are being held without bail at the Multnomah County Detention Center.

Rosillo’s criminal record dates back five years and includes convictions for cocaine possession, driving under the influence of intoxicants, reckless driving, criminal mischief and driving with a revoked license. He also faces a charge of felony cocaine possession resulting from his April 16 arrest.

Quintero has no criminal record and was crowned Miss Teen Clackamas County in 2006.

Both entered not-guilty pleas during their arraignments on Tuesday, April 27.

The Oregon Department of Human Services, which is responsible for looking into reports of child abuse, is investigating the girl’s death, said Gene Evans, department spokesman. He could not disclose whether any reports of abuse had been made regarding the girl due to the ongoing investigation.
