Arrests in Marcus Fiesel Investigation

August 28, 2006 02:58 PM

They did it, it seems. The foster parents are being charged with involuntary manslaughter, child endangerment, and gross abuse of a corpse (for the foster father, David Carroll).  The Prosecutor says the Carrolls went to a family reunion in Kentucky on August 4, and left three year-old Marcus locked in a closet.  For two days.  While they were at a "family reunion." 

Investigators believe Marcus was dead by the time they returned, and that his foster father took his body out into the country and burned it.  The remains have not been found.

The foster mother then lied to the children's service person who came to their home later that week, and faked her own fainting spell the day Marcus "disappeared" from the park.  The parents then got the entire region to join in the search for the supposedly kidnapped child.  According to today's news conference:

Other family members knew about the death and helped cover it up, Deters said. Deters said more charges are likely.

"We believe everyone was aware, everyone covered up," Deter said, who added that the Carrolls did not confess. "They lied to the bitter end."

WCPO reports that more charges are expected.  We sure as hell hope so.  What about lying to investigators?  Obstruction of justice?  The prosecutor needs to pile as much as he can on these folks, if the major charge is only going to be involuntary manslaughter.  That sounds unexcusably lenient.

How about criminal negligence charges for the folks who placed Marcus in a foster home run by such scum?

UPDATE:  We forgot to mention this article, from yesterday's Enquirer, which discusses how David Carroll hasn't had a regular job in three years, was charged with domestic violence in June, and has fathered 3 children himself, by three separate women, two of whom are sisters.
