Dad, gal pal arrested in murder of 4-year-old daughter (Adelanto, California)
Hmm. Notice what is said...and what is left unsaid. Father...and girlfriend. Not mother. In fact, the mother is conspicuous by her absence. Was the mother the unnamed "concerned person" who contacted the sheriff's office when the daughter had not been seen? Was this a joint custody situation? Or did this father have sole custody? At any rate, how and why Daddy and his gal pal had access to this girl is not explained in the slightest. Nor why the mother doesn't even merit a mention in passing.
Can't help but wonder if once again a bad family court decision is being airbrushed out of existence.
Dad is identified as RONALD GREER.

ADELANTO -- An Adelanto father and his girlfriend are behind bars accused of killing his 4-year-old daughter after the child's body was found in a shallow grave in the High Desert, officials said.
Ronald Greer, 21, and Biana Stanch, 19, were arrested early Friday morning after a concerned person alerted San Bernardino County Sheriff's officials that they had not seen Greer's 4-year-old daughter, Samiah Downing, and had become concerned, said Cindy Bachman, spokeswoman for the sheriff's department.
After conducting a missing person investigation Thursday, deputies became suspicious of Greer and Stanch and called in Sheriff's Homicide detectives to assist with the case, according to a sheriff's news release.
After interviewing Greer and Stanch and searching their former residence, authorities uncovered information which led them to search the open desert south of Baker, officials said. There they found the remains of the child. It was unclear when the child was killed and buried.
Greer and Stanch were booked into the Central Detention Center in San Bernardino on suspicion of murder and assault on a child.
Anyone with information on this case is asked to contact the Homicide Detail at 909-387-3589.
