The girl's mom spoke to reporters a few days ago pleading with people to come forward with any information leading to the person(s) connected with her daughter's death.
However, on Tuesday night, 44-year-old Alfreedia Glover, the adoptive mother of Alexis was arrested for felony, child neglect and for filing a false police report.This comes after police searched cars, property, etc.
Police believe that Alexis Glover was murdered at an unknown location, and her body was dumped in Woodbridge. As of now, no murder charges have been filed in Glover's death.
Alfreedia Glover is currently being held without bond.

The statements Lexi's Mom made on Monday after her body had been found gave me a strangely familiar feeling of suspicion. Her demeanor seemed foreign to me and I tried to imagine how I would be if it were my teenage daughter. Granted, people are different and react differently and even accounting for that, I had suspicions about the Mom. When I woke to the news this morning I remembered how I'd picked up on her demeanor and a strange mis-worded statement. Her last sentence was, "I just hope they find the person who found her". Not, "I hope they find the person who took her." I think it was a psychological slip and I'd had visions of Susan Smith at the time.

I am starting to pay attention to a strong pattern of people adopting kids, then raping, molesting, starving, abusing and just flat out killing them. What is up with that? Why would someone go through great lengths to adopt a child just to bring harm on them? Im starting to believe the safest place place for these kids is in the system and not someone shopping for a kid just for the hell of it and neglecting your promise to care for them.

As an adoptive mother, i have seen all types of people become foster parents just for the money. To be honest with you for what you go through there is not enough money in the world. I started out as a foster parent, and you lose all privacy, someone is in your home every other week, there are court dates and god forbid if you get a child with RAD or emotional problems it is a lot of work. But if you are in it for the right reasons it is well worth it. These children sometimes become victims of the system and those who are supposed to be there for them. My grandmother was a foster parent for 32 years and most of my aunties and uncles came from that, you never know who you are raising, because they have been such incredible people to me, not perfect but loving. I love children and i see greatness in all of them but, it takes work, love and the correct kind of discipline to get them where they should be. My heart goes out to this child who just needed some love and guidance, you have to be cold-hearted to hurt and discard a child like garbage.....hopefully this lady will serve a long sentence.

Terrible story...Far too many loosers out here today.
Pamela, if your Husband is fighting in Iraq, that means you're a Military Wife! You simply must lean on whatever branch of the Military your Husband is in. They will help you with the quickness, if there was no abuse of the child, this will be simple for the Military to step in and resolve.
