Florida Girl, 5, Was Alive Before Being Thrown From Bridge: Police

Dad Allegedly Throws 5-Year-Old Daughter Off a Bridge NBC NEWS CHANNEL

The Florida toddler found dead after she was tossed from a St. Petersburg bridge was still alive before the fatal 60-foot plunge, police said Friday based on preliminary evidence. At a news conference following Thursday's horrific act, investigators didn't immediately know whether 5-year-old Phoebe Jonchuck was initially alive, and were awaiting the results of a medical examiner's report. A police officer who witnessed the crime — allegedly committed by her father, John Jonchuck Jr. — said he may have heard the girl scream but wasn't certain.

Police are still trying to piece together what led Jonchuck, 25, to allegedly take his daughter's life. The girl's mother, Michelle Kerr, said despite Jonchuck's "Jekyll and Hyde" personality and their rocky past relationship, she never imagined he would turn his rage toward Phoebe. "She would always say 'I love you' to him," a teary-eyed Kerr told NBC affiliate WFLA. "She loved her daddy."

Phoebe's body was recovered from the Tampa Bay around 1 a.m. Thursday, an hour after a St. Petersburg police officer said he saw Jonchuck hurl the girl over the railing.

1. Apache justice - smear his body with molasses, tie him down with wet leather thongs, stake him out on an anthill, ; OR
2. Execution, William Walace style - hung until almost dead, cut down and heart ripped out and finally, drawn and quartered; OR
3. Chinese Death of a Thousand Cuts - self-explanatory.

Give me some time and I’ll come up with a couple of others that are not so lenient.

And it is a crying shame that not one psychologist or psychiatrist out of ten can say anything coherent about the love of God today.

True, that. Pity, too. The Almighty has pulled many back from the brink.
