Mom believes body found is her daughter; hasn't seen since dad obtained custody (Monument, Colorado)

The increasingly disturbing evidence just keep piling up in this case. Interesting points we have learned from all the articles to come out thus far from a custody standpoint:

1) October 2007: The mother loses custody in classic scam, where she isn't even informed of the court dates. This is typically seen in family courts with well-earned reputations for corruption. See:

2) As noted in the article below, after Mom loses custody, she never sees her daughter again. This is very often seen with abusive fathers with a lot of coercive control issues, especially when there is a corrupt court backing them up.

3) Dad receives and maintains custody in New Jersey despite a weapons warrant and an ongoing abuse investigation. In fact, New Jersey child protection authorities file a neglect and dependency case against the girl's custodial father, investigating whether he was physically and emotionally abusing her. In fact, they "claim" that they were in the process of taking the girl away from her father when he moved. See:

4) But if child protection was in the process of taking child custody away from Dad, why was he able to move to Colorado with no apparent moveway objections from the courts? And the evidence shows that Dad did NOT make a run for it. Why? Because the New Jersey New Jersey officials notified El Paso County, Colorado about their abuse investigation. So they obviously knew where he had gone. El Paso County Department of Human Services does not act on these allegations. See: http://dastardlydads.blogspot.com/2010/05/custodial-dad-girlfriend-not-suspects.html

5) October 2008: After neighbors make complaints, an El Paso County Department of Human Services child protection worker goes to the house and interviews two children there. The girl told the worker she isn't supposed to talk about them and an older boy (the gal pal's kid) also says nothing.The complaint is deemed “inconclusive” and El Paso County officials do not open a case. In other words, the girl's apparent fear and evasiveness are either overlooked or deliberately ignored. The El Paso authorities never follow up.

6) Neighbors say that when girl seemingly disappeared, they ask her custodial dad/gal pal what happened and were told that she had gone back to New Jersey to live with an aunt. See: http://dastardlydads.blogspot.com/2010/05/more-on-crawl-space-girl-dad-scammed.html


7) March 2009: The custodial dad and his gal pal leave Colorado for California.

8) March 14, 2009 - Dec. 9, 2010: Custodial dad, gal pal, gal pal's son, stay at Union Rescue Mission in Los Angeles. Infant boy born while they are there. No sign of the girl and family never mentions a girl. Gal pal makes odd comment to staff: “I don’t think I’ve been able to appreciate that I have a new baby because of a situation that I’m in.” Mission helps subsidize an affordable housing apartment for the family. But custodial dad and gal pal leave town, leaving the children with "a friend" and "disappear." Unidentified "family members" later pick up the kids.” See: http://dastardlydads.blogspot.com/2010/05/more-on-crawl-space-girl-dad-scammed.html

8) May 14, 2010: Remains of young girl found in crawl space of Colorado home formerly occupied by custodial father, gal pal, children. El Paso County Sheriff's Department says that custodial dad, gal pal are not "suspects." However, New Jersey authorities say they have sent detectives to California, but can't find Dad or the gal pal.

The mother of a little girl says she is sure it's her daughter's body that was found at a Monument home about two weeks ago. DNA results are still pending.

Right now, investigators are searching for the girl's biological father, Hanif Sims and his girlfriend, Monique Lynch. They once lived in the Monument home where workmen recently discovered the body.

Jopetia Garretson says El Paso County detectives visited her New Jersey home to take DNA last week. She says, ever since, she's been thinking about her daughter, who she hasn't seen since October of 2007. That was the same time she lost custody.

“She was sweet and she cared for people before herself. She would play with friends to make them happy and worry about herself after," says Garretson.

The search for the couple has taken investigators to California, where the Lynch and Sims are believed to be living. We're told they've abandoned their apartment, dropped off their two boys at a relative’s house and are on the run.
