Phillips told investigators he covered the baby's face with a pillow and sat on him until the baby lost consciousness.

Deputies located Phillips two hours after the baby's body was found and arrested him at the Fastrip less than a mile from the apartment. When Phillips made his first appearance in court he had bandages around his neck for unknown reason. Phillips has pleaded not guilty.

Sanchez then told investigators Isis collapsed in the living room and hit her head and lost consciousness. Deputies said despite inconsistencies in his story, Izaac Sanchez always maintained Isis drowned and he never hurt her. Doctors at Memorial Hospital told deputies there was no sign the girl had drowned and said she had been beaten. Doctors reported Isis suffered a torn liver, rectal tears and head trauma. Doctors declared Isis brain dead. She died at the hospital several days later. Izaac Sanchez is charged with murder.
