May 13, 2023

A mother and her stepfather, who is also her boyfriend, are charged with the murder of a 2-month old baby in Escambia County, Alabama, according to authorities.

“The child had numerous bruises to the body and had suffered severe head trauma,” Escambia County (AL) Sheriff Heath Jackson said Friday night about the April 9 death.

Shelby Shyanne Comalander, 24, and Larry William Jackson, 48, are both charged with murder and aggravated child abuse. Jackson faces an additional charge of possession of methamphetamine. Both are residents of the 200 block of Riley Road in the Poarch community north of Atmore.

The Escambia County (AL) Sheriff’s Office and Alabama Department of Human Resources investigation led to the arrest.

Both suspects were booked into the Escambia County (AL) Detention Center without bond. Additional details have not been released as the investigation continues.

    Fifty odd years ago, My C.J. professor an active Superior Court Judge told our class that the most dangerous person to a child is the ‘live in lover’ or the step-father. After forty years in L.E., I can attest that his statement was true then and it is true now. This is not an indictment of all stepfathers. 99% percent do the best that they can.
    I didn’t have any dealings with those. We have prisons and we need to use them. It is better to keep them locked-up than deal with the misery that they cause. For the mother, she should spend her jail time reading Liviticus.

    Chris just because you don’t want to take the responsibility of saying the baby is yours because you did it behind your wife’s back doesn’t mean that he wasn’t take responsibility quit being a deadbeat probably why you never have your other son

    @Bill, I’m a stepdad, raised two boys and two girls since they were little, youngest was 1, I was a better father than their biological father.

    So so very sad for this baby. These two? Sick individuals are what they are. To wish harm and evil towards them is wrong, according to the BIBLE but these two DO DESERVE everything that they have coming by way of JUSTICE…however it is carried out! @Bill, you are very wrong. The ONLY person, in my life, who never judged me or alienated me during my addiction and recovery was my Step Dad. He’s the sole reason my boys are the NEN they are today. So, your opinion is just that, yours.
    I pray for these two…the baby first…but I pray these two will come to know OUR GOD and see what they have done. This crime is one that makes this old man sick and I hope they get that “Jailhouse Justice” with a quickness..I’ve already made my apologies for my thoughts on this!

    What in the world is wrong with people today? I’m curious what the Mother of the girl is thinking about all this? So many people are disgusting and have no moral values! Life in gen pop will be the best thing for both of them. Even the worst of the worst criminals do like people who harm children or the elderly!

    Jackson is old enough to know better. I pray for all involved.

  10. Susie on May 13th, 2023 9:04 pm

    Those two are disgusting, pathetic and evil. That poor, sweet baby didn’t deserve any of this. Those two imps should burn in the place they came from. God rest that little Angel’s soul.

    I wouldn’t want to be in your shoes.. baby killers..someone in prison will give both of you what you deserve…

  12. Sara Mitchell on May 13th, 2023 7:51 pm

    @Bill you need mental help. My stepfather is AMAZING and has always been supportive and wonderful. Don’t try to imply this horrible behavior is the standard for step parents. It’s a childish and immature way of thinking. I’ll be praying for you.

    This is some straight up depraved stuff and I think they should roast for it………but I’m mostly here to see the comments!

  14. Angela Powell on May 13th, 2023 1:47 pm

    That’s truly disgusting!!!!! Hope they get what they deserve.

  15. Jack W Murphy on May 13th, 2023 1:20 pm

    They both need to have their heads beat in, then allowed to feel what that baby felt and suffered. Drugs, poverty and deprivation are no excuses. You both have failed at being anything close to human . Society owes you nothing but a slow and painful death. That baby is now in Heaven and he has no suffering. I hope that in prison you get a taste of the pain you inflicted on this defenseless child

  16. Bill on May 13th, 2023 12:33 pm

    I object to the normalization of step parents. Raise your own biological children. Men who let another man serve as the “father” for their own flesh and blood are losers. Choose a good a woman and make it work. If you’re not able to handle that don’t have kids. And women, don’t bring new men into your daughter’s life. It’s not natural. In fact, it’s really gross. If you’re a real man you sleep under the same roof as your real children. No excuses except legitimate adoption.

    Lord Jesus Please, This is so SAD, in ALL ways….. !!! The little baby didn’t have a chance at life, and her mom just passed away a few months ago, I don’t care you crossed the family boundaries, Nasty, and to add drugs on the list, that’s Crazy, Stupid, with a newborn, you know what happened to the baby YOUR THE MOM,Then you got this Creepy thing it should known BETTER, 40 something ? I’m sure the mom didn’t mean “take care of them like that” I hope and pray you both get what’s coming to you, Here and the After Life!

  20. Chris on May 13th, 2023 9:16 am

    Does this make him the baby’s daddy and grandfather?

  21. Nana on May 13th, 2023 8:56 am

    Lock them up and throw away the key! Better yet, give them the electric chair and save tax payers money!

  22. sam on May 13th, 2023 8:04 am

    they should get the maximum punishment.

  23. anne on May 13th, 2023 7:53 am
