suffered from cerebral palsy was discovered in the
refrigerator of her family's apartment.
The little girl's body was found by a neighbour who
claimed to have become concerned after not seeing
Ayahna Comb around the building for five months. The
neighbour said that the apartment door was unlocked
when he went in to check on the girl and instead found
her body.
According to KHOU, police and paramedics arrived on the
scene shortly thereafter and confirmed the girl's death,
estimating her body had been in the fridge for at least
one month and probably longer.
After conducting a preliminary investigation into the
girl's parents, law enforcement officials received a
statement from the mother and caretaker, Amber Keyes,
admitting to placing the body in the refrigerator after the
girl stopped breathing on January 29. The cause of death
remains uncertain, although the girl's body reportedly
weighed 14 pounds.
According to additional reports, the girl's father, Armand
Comb, claimed that he believed the child was still alive.
He also claimed that he had seen his daughter two
months ago, contradicting Keyes' report that the girl had
died in January. Both parents are currently under further
investigation.
Keyes also has a five-year-old daughter, and she
reportedly hid the older sister's death from the younger
girl. She also continued to collect Social Security
Disability income and food stamps for her daughter after
her death.
