When police search the hotel, they said they found “two 9-year-old juveniles asleep inside the room.”
“The investigation revealed that the parents, Jordan (Wint) and Christal (Williams), both left the hotel room to deliver food. They left a cellphone in the three juveniles’ possession to contact them if need be,” police said in a news release.
Williams and Wint have been charged with cruelty to children, contributing to the deprivation of a minor and reckless conduct.
As for who hit and killed Keymoriona, that still remains a mystery.
