Father who buried two children in his own backyard perhaps kept third child alive to profit off disability checks
New details are continuing to emerge in the murders of a 14-year-old girl and her brother who were found buried in the backyard of their home in the 400 block of Rosebud Place, Guyton, in Effingham County. Deputies from the sheriff's office arrested the father and three other family members in the deaths, with a third child found living in the home transported to the local hospital and kept under observation.
According to Crime Online, the third child, who is an 11-year-old boy suffering from cerebral palsy, is now in the custody of the Department of Family and Children's Services. At the time police took him out of the home, he had reportedly not his seen his mother for over nine years and another family member has speculated that he was kept alive so the father, who worked as a Walmart Santa, could profit off his disability checks.
