Jacksonville, FL., Little Lonzie Barton was reported missing early Friday morning at 2:19 AM on July 24, 2015. Now, four weeks later, according to News4Jax, police have arrested Lonzie’s mother Lonna Lauramore for one count of lying to police and two counts of child neglect. The toddler and his 5 year-old sister was left in the care of Lonna’s live-in boyfriend Ruben Ebron, who reported his car stolen with the toddler still inside of it.

Police scrambled to find little Lonzie, but they still have not found this toddler after a wide spread search and an AMBER ALERT. Mr. Ebron was arrested on July 24, 2015 on two counts of child neglect and one count of lying to police was just recently added. According to News4Jax, the police have stated that both the mother and her live-in boyfriend have been lying, since the moment the police answered the 911 call. The night of his disappearance, Lonna told police that she didn’t know Ruben Ebron.

However, police learned that she lives with him and recently they learned that she has a huge tattoo on her side with Ruben’s name. Additionally, police said she lived in one bedroom apartment with both kids and Mr. Ebron, who bought and sold drugs to pay the bills. Police remain convinced that Mr. Ebron has murdered the child and they are looking for a body, due to new evidence that has emerged. According to WOKV, a third party told police that little Lonzie had a bruise on the back of his head and he had yellow stuff draining out of his ears.

The witness also stated that the toddler was lethargic and may have needed medical care for his injuries. However, Lonna got into a heated argument with Mr. Ebron, but he never gave her a satisfactory answer on how Lonzie obtained these injuries. Then, instead of taking Lonzie to the hospital for his injuries, police say she left the two children in Mr. Ebron’s care. She had him drop her off at Wacko’s, where she worked as an exotic dancer and he had both children at that time. According to News4Jax, the coworker stated that the mother’s actions were odd and suspicious.

After work, she asked a coworker drop her off at home, but the coworker said she wanted to be dropped off at a different apartment complex off Old Kings Rd. Additionally, she asked the coworker to take her to a place where someone owed her money. According to News4Jax, the police saw her coworker’s car and he asked them questions, which is when the officer learned that Lonna was the missing toddler’s mother.

This is when police say, Lonna began immediately lying to the investigators and the coworker confronted her when they were alone. The coworker felt she was not acting like a distraught mother, whose child has just been reported missing.  According to News4Jax, the coworker stated that Lonna Lauramore Barton didn’t get upset, instead she starting acting odd. The coworker said she seemed to be consoling Mr. Ebron, instead of freaking out about the toddler’s disappearance.

Police are building a murder case against Mr. Ebron, because they believe that he murdered the toddler and they believe that he has the answers to where the toddler’s body is located. After an exhaustive search for over a week, police are still no closer to finding this adorable 21 month-old little boy. According to News4Jax, the police are hoping someone has information that will help them find this missing toddler and bring his body home. Furthermore, Crimestoppers is offering a reward for any tips or information that will lead them to recovering Lonzie’s remains.

Sunday- July 26th, 2015- According to AFP, Bobbi Kristina Brown died at age 22, after being found unconscious in her bathtub at her Roswell, GA. Home. She was found submerged face down in her bath tub on January 21st, 2015, by Nick Gordon and Max Lomas. No one is sure how long she was submerged in the water, but she was placed in a medical coma soon after being placed in the hospital. She never regained consciousness after six months, so recently the Brown and Houston families agreed to place her in a hospice care faculty.

The families put their differences aside and remained by her side, until she took her last breath on Sunday. She is the only child of powerhouse singer Whitney Houston and pop singer Bobby Brown, who raised her beneath their loving wings. According to AFP, celebrities stopped by the funeral, while friends and family came to pay their respects to this beloved young woman. However, even at the funeral these two families cannot stop feuding, so I boxing gloves are going to be tightened when it comes to Bobbi Kristina’s estate.

Nick Gordon is three years older than Bobbi Kristina, but Whitney Houston raised him just like he was her own child. According to USA Today, Nick and Bobbi Kristina had a fight and later that morning she found in bathtub with face swollen and a missing tooth. Nick claimed they were married, but they were never legally married and the allegations of him abusing Bobby Kristina have infuriated the family. The family had an injunction placed against him, so he could not visit Bobbi Kristina and they stopped his access to her money.

The police want to know how one of her teeth got knocked out and why she had bruises and a swollen face. According to USA Today, the District Attorney in Fulton County is looking into the case from an investigative standpoint. However, Nick is accused of stealing thousands of dollars from Bobbi Kristina’s estate on the same day that she was found unresponsive in the bathtub. However, Bobbi Kristina is now at peace and she has been reunited with her mother Whitney Houston.

Whitney Houston was also found dead in a bathtub of an overdose about three years ago, but Bobbi Kristina didn’t have drugs in her system. Many people have said that the circumstances between the two deaths are strangely frightening. However, according to Black Media Scoop, the family is asking for privacy and prayers while they say a final good-bye to their loved one. Bobby Brown stayed by his daughter’s side and he is utterly devastated by losing his little girl.

Hopefully, each family member can find peace amongst themselves in the wake of the beautiful young woman’s tragic death. According to ABC, Bobbi Kristina was laid to rest next to her mother in Westfield, New Jersey. At this time, the investigation into her death is still open, so hopefully there will be some tough questions answered as the case moves forward. For now, the family just wants to mourn privately, while cherishing every moment they spent with Bobbi Kristina.
