The day after investigators discovered Jeffrey’s body, their 2-year-old son Taylen, who was missing from their St. Petersburg condominium, was found dead between an alligator’s jaws, according to police.
Theo Brickhouse-Sails, Jeffrey’s great-aunt, told WESH-TV, “I would have never, in a million years, believed that something like this would happen when this week started.”
Taylen was meant to have been picked up on Saturday. According to police records, family members gathered in Pashun’s apartment on Wednesday afternoon to celebrate Mosley’s 21st birthday.
According to police reports, Mosley arrived at his mother’s house that same night at 9 p.m. with “serious lacerations” on his wrists and arms that were “consistent with injuries caused by slippage during a knife attack.” The arrest document states that he was later admitted to the hospital.
When Jeffrey didn’t pick up the phone on Thursday morning, Brickhouse-Sails claimed that the following day, “her instinct told [her] something was wrong.” According to an arrest affidavit, housing workers who had been requested by the family to conduct a wellness check discovered Jeffrey with more than 100 stab wounds on the toilet floor.
According to family members who posted on GoFundMe, Jeffrey was a native of St. Petersburg and an honors student at her high school. Soon after Jeffrey’s body was discovered, an Amber alert was issued for Taylen, Mosley’s 2-year-old son.
According to a statement from the St. Petersburg police department, the youngster was discovered in an alligator’s mouth, and the search for him was suspended that evening. The alligator was put down so that the toddler could be retrieved after authorities received a tip that one was seen in Lake Maggiore with something in its mouth.
No official cause of death has been disclosed as of yet.
His passing was reported just hours before a volunteer search party and professional rescue teams were to convene. Anthony Holloway, the police chief, expressed his sympathy to the victim’s family in a statement.
According to an arrest affidavit, investigators connected Mosley to a bloody fingerprint on a cleaning bottle and a bloody Gucci shoeprint at the crime site. According to jail records, Mosley was charged with two charges of first-degree murder in connection with the murders of Jeffrey and Taylen. According to jail records, he is being held without bond at the Pinellas County jail while awaiting trial.
