Toddler found dead on Galveston beach identified as Houston boy

Eight months after the naked body of a toddler washed up on a Galveston beach, police have finally unraveled the mystery, announcing the real name of the Houston boy and the arrest of his mother and her girlfriend.

The 4-year-old boy - known for months simply as "Little Jacob" - has now been identified as Jayden Alexander Lopez. His mother, 34-year-old Rebecca Rivera, and her girlfriend 31-year-old Dania Amezquita Gomez have been arrested in connection with the case.

"While my job is to investigate these types of crimes, it is especially difficult when the victim is a defenseless child," said Bryan Gaines, the supervisory senior resident agent at the FBI office in Texas City. "No one reported Jayden as missing, no one was looking for Jayden. Jayden had no advocate other than us. Somebody took a beautiful, innocent child and discarded him in the ocean like he was a piece of trash."

A beach-goer initially spotted the boy's naked body on Oct. 20, 2017 along the water in the 700 block of Seawall last fall. But authorities couldn't match him to any missing children and there were no obvious signs of trauma on his body.

Im curious about the father, grandparents, aunts and other family that just kept their mouths shut for 8 months. Maybe one of them gave the tip that led to the arrest?

How do female inmates deal with offenders like this?

Probably whip out the scissors and then give them licks.

So glad they finally solved this. If they’re able to pin murder charges on them, they’ll plead out to avoid the death penalty. Fortunately, child abusers do not do well in prison.

There will definitely be some scissoring and licking going on.

From what I saw on the news last night it looked like a neighbor outed them.

The tip that solved the case came after they released a real photo of the boy’s body. It was a very controversial move that worked.

This is always stated but is this actually true or just wishful thinking? Prison is full of convicted and unconvicted child abusers, absentee parents, and miscreants. Why, all of a sudden, would any of them develop a conscience and give a shit about a stranger?

A lot of inmates were abused as children and feel like it contributed to how they turned out. I worked in corrections and I can tell you, while not as widespread as some people think, child abusers/killers do catch a beatdown from time to time. Many are placed in segregation for their own protection.
