A newly released affidavit from the St. Petersburg Police Department has shed light on the circumstances surrounding the deaths of a young mother and her two-year-old son whose body was found in the mouth of an alligator.

Taylen Mosley, the two-year-old boy whose body was found in the mouth of an alligator March 31, was allegedly placed or thrown into a lake by his 21-year-old father, Thomas Isaiah Mosley, CNN reported Monday. That action inflicted “mortal wounds” on the child, causing his death, the affidavit stated, according to CNN.


The tragic deaths of Taylen and his 20-year-old mother, Pashun Jeffrey, allegedly occurred after Jeffrey’s family had gathered to celebrate Mosley’s birthday March 29. The following day, after Jeffrey’s mother couldn’t reach her daughter, the family went back to the apartment and reportedly discovered blood on the sidewalk leading to Jeffrey’s place. The apartment management office was notified and upon entering the apartment, they discovered Jeffrey on the floor of her bathroom, reportedly stabbed in excess of 100 times, the affidavit states.

When law enforcement officials arrived, they discovered a cleaning bottle “intentionally” hidden away under a bed stained with a bloody fingerprint police linked to Mosley, the affidavit states. In addition, police found a bloody “Gucci” shoe print on the floor of the bathroom near Jeffrey’s body.

On the evening of March 29, Mosley reportedly arrived at his mother’s home with “severe lacerations to both of his hands and arms consistent with injuries caused by slippage during a knife attack,” the affidavit reads. As a result, Mosley was admitted to a local hospital for treatment. Prior to the arrival at his mother’s home, Mosley reportedly traveled to Lake Maggiore, the affidavit read. Taylen’s body was found in an alligator’s mouth in Dell Homes Park, which borders the lake, CNN reported.

“Due to the extremely serious allegations surrounding these tragic losses, our investigation is currently focused on gathering information about the facts and circumstances of the case, as well as our client’s mental state,” a spokesperson for Sixth Judicial Circuit Public Defender Sara Mollo said in a statement, according to CNN.

Mosley remains in the Pinellas County Jail after his arrest and is scheduled for a bond hearing on April 11, according to the outlet.

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
