Death
The body of three-year-old Ty Toribio was found by a woman at Alvarado Park in Albuquerque after the woman saw one of his shoes visible in the sand. Police unearthed the boy, but were initially unable to identify him as the heat from the sand had disfigured his face. News of the discovery hit the local news and several tips came in that the boy matched the description of a boy belonging to 23-year-old Tiffany Toribio.CNN: Police: Mom Killed Boy, Buried Him in Playground SandPolice confronted Tiffany Toribio in the early morning hours of May 21, 2009, at which time she confessed to the murder. She stated that she suffocated the boy, then changed her mind and performed CPR, bringing him back to life. Toribio then went through with the original plan and suffocated him again, burying his body in the playground. She went on to say that "she did not want him to grow up with no one caring about him, the same way that she had grown up where nobody had cared about her."CNN: Police: Mom Killed Boy, Buried Him in Playground Sand
