Mentally Disabled Texas Teen Murdered-Throat Slashed and Uterus Removed After Reporting Sexual Abuse

Full Title: Mentally Disabled Texas Teen Murdered-Throat Slashed and Uterus Removed After Reporting Sexual Abuse, Parents Arrested

Earlier this year, just a few days after telling officials at her school that her stepfather had impregnated her, a mentally disabled Texas teenager was found in her family’s partially burned home with her throat slashed and her uterus removed. The grisly details of the girl’s murder were revealed in an arrest warrant carried out on Friday.

The arrest warrant was issued for the mother of the mutilated and deceased 18-year-old girl. Her mental capacity was reportedly that of a 6- or 7-year-old, and her stepfather had been sexually abusing the mentally disabled girl since she was no older than 12-years-old, according to the arrest warrant. The arrest warrant for the girl’s mother, Debi Holland, states that the woman was very aware of the fact that her husband was sexually abusing both of her young daughters and yet did nothing.

According to local paper Everything Lubbock, the teenager’s name was Holli Jeffcoat, and her 39-year-old stepfather is James Holland. He was arrested on March 10 and has already been charged with three counts of continuous aggravated sexual abuse of a child. The teenager was found dead, her uterus removed, in her family’s house in Northeast Lubbock County on February 10 after it had burned. The police investigating the death have expressed their belief that the fire at the Holland’s Idalou, Texas, home was deliberately set in an attempt to cover up Holli’s murder.

A few days before she was murdered, the teenager had told a social worker on January 29 that her stepfather had impregnated her.

The copy of the arrest warrant, which was made public on Monday morning, also outlined that Holland had been sexually abusing the mentally ill young woman’s 15-year-old younger sister since she was at least 9-years-old. When the stepfather was first arrested on March 10, the younger sister told the investigators that the man was sexually abusing her for the last two to three years of her life approximately two to five times a week. The mother, Debi, had actually known for quite a few years that her eldest and mentally disabled daughter, Holli, was being sexually abused, because back in 2008, the young girl was diagnosed with a sexually transmitted disease. However, at the time, Child Protective Services could not provide definitive proof of who committed the abuse against Jeffcoat. As a result, no charges were filed.

Following the January 29 talk with the counselor at her school, Buzzfeed reported that the 18-year-old spoke to an interviewer from the Children’s Advocacy Center on February 2 and stated that both she and her sister told their mother that the stepfather was sexually abusing them. The two were silenced by their mother for reasons the arrest warrant revealed.

Probably cut the uterus out thinking it would cover up the fact she was pregnant and they couldn’t get DNA to prove he is the father.

Pity for him, you can do a fetal DNA test on mother’s blood now. It is done all the time to test for chromosomal anomalies instead of an amniocentesis.

Why had she not been removed from the home and placed somewhere safe? Her younger sister as well?

Holy crap, this is pure evil. To do that to your own child, not just kill but mutilate... literally sickening to me.
