Where is Kennedy Hoyle? Missing newborn's father admits to TOSSING her into river
MEMPHIS, TENNESSEE: "Hell is empty because all the devils are here!" This phrase is an apt example of a cruel act that recently shook people. Brandon Isabelle from Tennessee has been charged with the murder of 27-year-old Danielle Hoyle and their two-day-old daughter Kennedy Hoyle. The incident happened on Tuesday, February 1, where Isabelle brutally murdered the newborn baby girl and her mother, making this crime the only one of its kind in the police records.
Bradon Isabelle was tracked down by the police on Wednesday evening at around 6 pm and was arrested for the murders of his missing daughter and the baby’s mother who was found shot to death a day earlier. According to an affidavit by the Memphis Police, on February 1 at around 11 pm, an officer was looking for possible stolen vehicles when they found a tan Chevy Cruze with the driver-side window broken.

The report said that while officers were making contact with the family, a woman's body was found with a gunshot wound to her head off the road outside of the vehicle and was later identified as Danielle Hoyle. The newborn was not found at the scene. The child’s father Brandon Isabelle was determined as a possible suspect and was detained.
The Memphis police issued a statement updating the status of a lookout for the child, "Kennedy Hoyle has not been located; however, evidence suggests that she is deceased! The search will continue to recover her remains.” Police said they found an abandoned vehicle at about 11:15 pm and a body which was later confirmed to be Danielle Hoyle.
After a long grueling interrogation, the suspect (Isabelle) told police he tossed the gun he shot Hoyle with into the Mississippi River and also admitted that he took the child out of the car and drove her to Island Park and the Upper Mud Island Boat Ramp where he tossed the child into the water. This strange and horrifying news didn't go well with Danielle's mother as she was unable to digest her daughter's unexpected death and losing her granddaughter.
Danielle’s grieving mother April Campbelle pleaded for her granddaughter Kennedy’s return through tears and said, "I only held my baby for 10 minutes and I haven’t seen her since. Why would someone want to hurt a baby, she’s precious. She didn’t do anything to you.” The baby was last seen wearing a black-and-white polka dot onesie with pink pants, the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation said in the Amber Alert. But unfortunately, everything ended abruptly as the infant was deceased according to the suspect Brandon Hoyle.
“I want him to suffer like he made my baby suffer,” said Campbell. “I want him to hurt. I don’t want it to be easy for him. I want him to suffer. He needs to suffer. Why would you hurt a baby?” Campbell said when asked about the man accused of killing her daughter and grandchild.
