911 calls, police report details dark timeline to Arizona girl's tragic death
Editor's note: The following story contains graphic descriptions. Recently released police documents have shed new light on the final weeks of 10-year-old Rebekah Baptiste's life, revealing disturbing allegations of escalating abuse and multiple attempts to flee her living situation. The 36-page report from the Navajo County Sheriff's Office outlines interviews with her father, Richard Baptiste, and his girlfriend, Anicia Woods, following the discovery of the unresponsive child on July 27. Rebekah was later pronounced dead three days later at Phoenix Children's Hospital. Both adults are now facing charges of first-degree murder. Detectives say the family had been living off-grid in a rural campsite near Concho, Arizona, in a yurt without electricity or running water since relocating from Phoenix earlier in July. The family slept on thin mattresses on the yurt floor and hauled water in plastic jugs from a Concho convenience store 15 miles away. Woods initially claimed a neighbor found Rebekah unresponsive after she had run away. However, law enforcement noted this was not the first time the child had attempted to escape. Records indicate Rebekah had previously jumped out of a window in Phoenix and made several other escape attempts after the move to Concho, the final one occurring on the day she was taken to the hospital. Despite Rebekah's visible deterioration, including being too weak to drink from a straw, Woods, who claimed she had a background in nursing, told authorities she believed the child "would be fine" and chose not to seek immediate medical help. When questioned, both Woods and Baptiste initially denied knowledge of what caused the child's condition, suggesting she may have been injured in a fall. However, medical professionals found extensive signs of physical abuse, including a brain hemorrhage, burn marks, missing toenails and hair, and numerous cuts and bruises. When shown "horrendous photos" of his daughter's injuries, Baptiste "lacked in expressing any emotion," one detective wrote in the probable‑cause affidavit. "After seeing these photos, I knew there would be no way a father would not notice the extensive injuries on his daughter, it would be impossible in my mind, for a father not to see these huge marks and bruises on his child," the comment read. According to police, Baptiste later confessed to striking his daughter with a belt as punishment for running away, but denied causing the head injuries. Authorities also discovered bloody clothing in the tent the family shared, which had been changed before emergency services were contacted. Fox News Digital reviewed the three 911 calls made by Woods on July 27. In the calls, Woods referred to Rebekah as her daughter and claimed she was providing rescue breaths, though her tone lacked urgency. In one call, she told the dispatcher they were driving toward Holbrook, believing there was an EMS station there. The dispatcher instructed her to pull over, so medics could reach them. When asked if CPR was being administered, Woods said she was breathing into Rebekah's mouth but had not begun chest compressions. The dispatcher asked her to place the child on firm ground, but Woods hesitated, noting she was unsure about laying her on the rocks. Emergency crews arrived shortly afterward, but Rebekah did not survive her injuries. Both Woods and Baptiste are now facing murder and child abuse charges related not only to Rebekah's death, but also to the alleged mistreatment of her two younger siblings. During interviews with investigators, Woods stated that a possible punishment for her might be "some jail time," while Baptiste expressed remorse, saying he did not deserve to be a father. Prosecutors have alleged that Rebekah suffered ongoing physical and sexual abuse. Concerns about the family's wellbeing had been raised multiple times by staff at Empower College Prep, where the children were enrolled, 12News reported. School officials reportedly contacted Arizona's Department of Child Safety (DCS) 13 times over the past two years, including one report from a school resource officer who visited the family's home following Rebekah's unexplained absence. DCS has since launched a review into whether the agency failed to adequately protect the child. "Anytime a child in our community is harmed, it deeply affects us all, especially when we know the family," a statement from DCS to Fox News Digital read. "Our dedicated staff work tirelessly to ensure the safety of all children, but tragically, those who intend to harm children can sometimes evade even the most robust systems designed to protect them." The department added that it will "continue to be transparent and release information related to this case" as well as their involvement with the family as they are legally permitted to do so. Gov. Katie Hobbs has also acknowledged the growing public concern and pledged to fully investigate the case. "First, let me say this is obviously a very tragic situation, and we are certainly looking into what happened," Hobbs previously told 12News. "The information we had at the agency prior to this case and what led up to her death, we're certainly going to be investigating, and if there was something that we did not do right, we will do everything we can to correct that. That is our job. It is our responsibility to ensure Arizonans are safe and we'll fix what went wrong. If that's the case." Fox News Digital reached out to Hobbs' office and Empower College Prep for comment, but did not immediately receive a response. Stepheny Price is a writer for Fox News Digital and Fox Business.

RCMP in P.E.I. say victim shot dead in car was 35-year-old man; no arrests made yet
A targeted shooting into a car on a dirt section of road in western P.E.I. Friday night killed a 35-year-old man and involved a perpetrator who fled the scene and has not yet been arrested, RCMP said at a briefing Monday afternoon. Cpl. Gavin Moore, the media relations officer for the P.E.I. RCMP, told reporters that police believe another vehicle was present on the Hackmatack Road when shots were reported at around 8 p.m. AT on Friday, in the Urbainville area near Wellington. Moore did not identify the victim of the shooting, which forced a 2008 Toyota Corolla to roll over and strike a utility pole. The male driver was pronounced dead at the scene. A passenger, a 50-year-old Summerside woman, was taken to Prince County Hospital with serious injuries. Moore did not give an update on her condition, saying the families of both people in the Corolla had requested privacy. He did say that both parties in the car sustained injuries as a result of the crash, and the man had gunshot wounds. He also said a burned vehicle found at St. Lawrence, near Miminegash, which was reported to police at 8:15 a.m. Saturday, may be linked to the case. Since news of the shooting emerged Saturday morning, hundreds of people have been sharing rumours on social media about what happened. Many asked why police had not confirmed whether they were seeking a specific suspect or alerting people living near where a suspected suspect could be hiding out. "The perpetrator had fled the area and there was very little information to share," Moore said Monday as he explained why the circumstances did not qualify for an emergency alert. The RCMP Major Crime Unit is the lead investigating body, with forensic, canine and traffic support as well as help from Summerside and Kensington's police agencies and the P.E.I. Coroners Office. Police are asking anyone with information about the incident to contact Prince District RCMP at 902-853-9300 or 902-436-9300. People wanting to stay anonymous are being asked to call P.E.I. Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).

Authorities first arrested the foster father, Cesar Delgadillo, last Monday after police were called to the couple's home in Drums, Pa., where their 13-year-old foster son was found covered in marks and lacerations, according to WNEP. The boy was rushed to a local hospital where he later died, WNEP reported that Pennsylvania State Police officers found home security footage that showed the father beating the boy and jamming a backscratcher in his mouth. The next day, WVIA and WOLF reported that police also arrested the boy's foster mother, Virginia Delgadillo, after reviewing more home security footage that showed her watching the beating take place before going to sleep. The boy was allegedly beaten from late Sunday night into Monday morning, according to the outlets, and home security footage also showed some of the couple's other four foster children attempting to clean up blood around the house afterwards. "The video captures large amounts of blood being deposited on the floor during the assaults," reads a police affidavit, according to WNEP. "Some of the children who reside in the residence were observed actively cleaning blood from the floor." PEOPLE has not directly reviewed the police affidavit. The outlet reported that two of the foster children woke up Virginia, 34, early Monday morning, after which she discovered the 13-year-old boy unresponsive in his basement bedroom. Police soon arrived at the home, and the boy was taken to the local Lehigh Valley Hospital in Hazleton, where he died about an hour later, according to WNEP. Cesar, 39, has been charged with homicide, child endangerment, evidence tampering and obstruction, according to WNEP. State police charged Virginia with five counts of endangering the welfare of children, four counts of corruption of minors, and one count of tampering with physical evidence, according to WVIA. Cesar reportedly began abusing the boy after two of the couple's other foster children claimed the teen had sexually assaulted them, per affidavits cited by WVIA. The family's five foster children ranged from 5 to 16 years old, according to WVIA. The outlet also reported that the four living foster children are now in state custody as Cesar and Virginia await court hearings later this month.
