A woman accused of killing her 3-year-old son to save him from a biblical flood had allegedly sought a bus ticket to get out of town after the child’s death, according to recently released reports.
Egypt Moneeck Robinson, 27, has been charged with murder in connection with the death of her son, Aries Juan Acevedo. The boy’s body was discovered last week after he allegedly was stuffed into a suitcase and thrown in a swamp behind a home at 7023 Benton Drive in Callaway where Robinson was living.
She allegedly admitted to killing Acevedo to save him from a biblical “Noah’s Ark”-type flood after she was taken into custody, according to the Bay County Sheriff’s Office.
Robinson is being held at the Bay County Jail without bond. She declined Tuesday to be interviewed for this article.
Sheriff Frank McKeithen said after Robinson’s arrest that “ritualistic sacrifice” was being investigated as a possible motive in the child’s death. He has declined to elaborate since then.
According to her arrest affidavit, Robinson used a knife to stab Acevedo in the abdomen, which punctured the child’s aorta artery and caused him to slowly bleed to death.
Sheriff’s deputies discovered Acevedo Dec. 29 wrapped in a sheet and lying face up inside the suitcase.
They also found “a 3-4 inch piece of concrete in the throat of the child” purportedly placed there by Robinson, the report states.
Authorities reported the child had been dead since Dec. 26.
Before the discovery, Robinson allegedly was looking for a bus ticket to get out of the state, officials reported.
“In fact, she asked the clerk for a ticket to Ohio,” deputies wrote. “It is believed that (Robinson) was attempting to flee the area while her son decomposed in the swamp.”
According to a BCSO incident report, the Callaway Fire Department contacted law enforcement about 4 p.m. Dec. 29. A man later identified as Robinson’s roommate reported to fire crews that he thought Robinson had killed her boy, BCSO reported.
He said the day after Christmas was the last time he heard the child’s cries coming from Robinson’s room before he left the house. When he returned, Robinson was bloody from self-inflicted wounds, and she said the child had gone to a relative’s house on a plane.
In the days that followed, he noticed Robinson would go behind the house and stare toward the water. He later found bags with the child’s shoes, clothes and diapers near the swamp and then what appeared to be the child inside a suitcase before confronting Robinson, BCSO reported.
Robinson and the roommate were in the front yard when deputies arrived at the home. Both appeared distraught.
As a deputy approached, Robinson allegedly told him she had killed her son and asked to be taken to jail, BCSO reported.
“Just put me in handcuffs,” officers quoted Robinson as saying. “I did it. … I killed my baby and put him inside the suitcase … He is floating on top of the water.”
Robinson is scheduled to be arraigned Feb 2.
