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.

My heart breaks for the terror this little girl felt in her last moments. May she rest in the arms of Our Savior forever.

I’ve seen a lot of nasty stuff but this really bothers me.
No ill treatment while he is still alive in the slammer is bad enough for this animal. May he be dammed.

Nah, throw him from the bridge every ten minutes until he croaks.

A compromise:

Throw him off the bridge with a locked chain around his neck and make sure it’s around 4 feet longer than the distance to the water’s surface.

Sit down and wait.

This inhuman waited for the officer to appear and then threw the child over. Then calmly got in his car and slowly drove away.
Both parents are druggies. The mother was a pole dancer.
The child didn’t have a chance. This is on Florida’s DCS
