Abilene, Texas – In a heart-wrenching case that has shocked the community, the body of infant Peyton Sky Davis was discovered last month by a fisherman at Lake Ft. Phantom Hill. Peyton’s remains were found inside a tool bag, and investigators have since confirmed her identity.
The infant’s mother, Heather Kennedy, 20, and her boyfriend, Donald Schultz, 35, have been arrested and charged with tampering with a human corpse. Authorities suggest that further charges may be filed as the investigation progresses.
Peyton’s grandmother, Tracy Davis, expressed her deep sorrow, sharing that she never had the chance to hold or meet her granddaughter in person. Tracy recounted the heartbreaking moment when her son, Anthony Davis, Peyton’s father, received the devastating news from the police. “It broke my heart. I just started crying,” she said.
The family had grown concerned after video calls with Peyton, which had been regular, abruptly stopped without explanation. Days later, after Anthony Davis’ home was searched by police, the worst fears of the family were confirmed.
“We love you so much, Peyton. You were our world,” Tracy Davis shared, holding onto the hope that one day, she will be reunited with her granddaughter.
The tragic death of Peyton Sky Davis has prompted an outpouring of grief and shock on social media. Several people took to Facebook to express their thoughts:
- Jan Rambaud Singer posted, "I just don’t understand why didn’t the mother just let the father have her?"
- Maryy Parker wrote, “Prayers prayers prayers.”
- Sue Davis added, “So sad, that precious baby!!!”
- Karen Thomas simply stated, “Evil.”
- Debbie Rodriguez Wyatt posted, “R.I.P. little Angel.”
As the investigation continues, the community mourns the loss of a life taken far too soon, and questions remain about the tragic events that led to Peyton Sky Davis’ death.
