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.
I know. If I live to be 1000 I'll never understand things like this.
The murder and mutilation is atypical, but sexual abuse of handicapped girls is extremely common. One of my friends has two daughters with mental handicaps - one with Down Syndrome, one with severe cerebral palsy. One of the girls needed hormonal treatment (birth control pills) for menstrual dysfunction, but my friend didn’t want to let the school know because then it would be known that her daughter wouldn’t become pregnant if someone had sex with her.
The school requires notification of all medications ... but I told her she should just consider it a “supplement” and not tell them.
Put them both in a room and arm them with rusty, dull knives. Tell them only one will leave the room alive.
When the winner walks out into the next room release a wild animal (tiger, lion whatever) into the room with them.
Given that this took place in Texas, they will be on Huntsville conveyor belt to a lethal injection to conclude their due process.
I've never understood people who get off on torture. And I don't just mean the named perps in this article.
The girl is in Jesus’s arms now.
The fate of these two depends on their compunction to admit to their guilt and evil deeds.
ISIS apparently operates under many masks.
No it is real and running rampant.
The question that bothers me is; when both daughters reported being abused why did they let the girl go home?
Yeah, hanging is too good for this trash.
A slow rusty saw on the offending member might be a good start.
Before I saw the pictures it sounded like a very common Muslim affair.
Happy meth couple.
I hope it involves a wood chipper.
