A note that a Las Vegas schoolgirl gave her teacher saying her mother was being held captive and thought the girl's brother was dead led to the discovery of the boy’s body in a garage freezer and the arrest of the mother’s boyfriend on murder and kidnapping charges.
This Clark County Detention Center booking photo shows Brandon Lee Toseland, 35, of Las Vegas, following his arrest Tuesday, Feb. 22, 2022, on murder and kidnapping charges. Authorities say a schoolgirl gave a note to her teacher saying her mother was being held captive and had not seen the girl's younger brother in more than 10 weeks, leading to the discovery of the boy's body in a garage freezer and Toseland's arrest. Toseland made an initial court appearance Wednesday, Feb.
More than 10 weeks after she last saw her son, she resorted to sending a message with her daughter to school. “I remember that quote,” Spencer told AP. “There are still a lot of questions that we don’t have answers to.” “The mother was physically, sexually and emotionally abused,” Stubbs said. “The children were physically and emotionally abused and separated from their mother most of the time.”
Police said in a statement the woman told detectives she had been abused by Toseland and was not allowed to leave the house alone or enter the garage. Toseland made an initial court appearance Wednesday on two felony kidnapping charges before a Las Vegas judge who ordered him to remain jailed pending an appearance Thursday on an open murder charge. It was not immediately clear if Toseland hired a lawyer to represent him.An attorney who represented Toseland when he pleaded no contest to misdemeanor domestic battery in 2019 in Las Vegas did not immediately respond Wednesday to messages from AP.
