A 10-year-old jumped from a two-story window in a bid to escape her stepmom and dad before she was ultimately tortured to death, according to police.
Rebekah Baptiste was found unresponsive on a highway in Holbrook, Arizona, in July after allegedly enduring months of abuse at the hands of her parents.
She was rushed to hospital where she died days later from 'non-accidental trauma'.
Doctors said the little girl showed signs of sexual abuse and had 'severe bruising throughout her body' as well as 'possible cigarette burns' to her back and 'missing chunks of hair'.
Her father Richard Baptiste, 32, and his girlfriend Anicia Woods, 29, were arrested and charged with first-degree murder and child abuse.
Prosecutors described the horrific physical and sexual abuse Rebekah allegedly suffered in the lead-up to her death.
The abuse became so horrific that Rebekah ran away from home several times, including once when she 'jumped out of the second story window at their apartment in Phoenix,' according to court documents seen by Law & Crime.
In bodycam footage of the moment police found Rebekah unresponsive on the highway, Woods is seen telling officers about the little girl's escape attempt.

OH YES it has!
Sick people. They don’t say how she ended up near the highway. I assume she was running her last after being fatally beaten.
Don’t worry, hell has a special place for those who abuse children.
I’d need a hoist, some barbed wire, some gasoline, and some pizza. The pizza would be for me, of course, because this would take a while, and I’d get hungry.
Oh, FRiend, you need to be more expansive - those are all base elements. Think more ... sadistic.
Though I do give you credit for thinking of your own energy level during the experience.
Well we can always hope for prison justice, may it be swift and violent....extremely violent!
I don’t think the real mother was the problem - unless she escaped herself and never told anyone about the abuse she and the girls were going through...the ones that need to take a dirt nap are the two that tortured and killed this poor, beautiful child
I think I recall reading an article about the stepmother getting a beatdown while in jail because she walked out of court with a grin. One of the other inmates didn’t like that. The assailant/deliverer of justice was a thief of some sort.
Take a year off of that woman’s sentence, IMO.
Have you ever seen this guy? He talks about what happeens to child killers, child predators in prison. Pretty graphic stuff.
Here he talks about what happened to the “treadmill Killer” Christopher Gregor
