A Wyoming man suspected of killing a toddler boy apparently strangled the child’s mother previously but was still living with her despite a judge ordering him not to.
Laramie Live reports that Laramie County District Court Judge Catherine Rogers ordered 27-year-old Wyatt Lamb to remain behind bars without bail for breaking his bond conditions from a previous charge. Although Lamb is suspect of killing 1-year-old Athian Rivera, the prosecution hasn’t yet charged him since the initial autopsy reports were inconclusive.
Lamb was arrested, however, for reportedly breaking bond requirements after he was found to be living with the child’s mother, Kassandra Orona, who he’s accused of strangling during an unrelated case that occurred last year. The victim told police at the time that Lamb hit her in the back of the head and put her in a chokehold from behind.
Laramie County Coroner Rebecca Reid says a statement by Cheyenne police that autopsy results showed there wasn t a conclusive cause of death in the case of Athian Rivera, the missing 2-year-old boy whose body was found in a dumpster, simply isn t true. There are no autopsy reports. They have not come back yet, Reid told KGAB Radio Tuesday morning. I wanted to make sure you knew the truth.
Reid issued the following statement:
As of today, autopsy results for the two-year-old baby boy found deceased on February 19, 2021 have not been received and are still pending further investigation. It is normal protocol for a case to take six to eight weeks for findings in determining the cause and manner of death. The Laramie County Coroner s Office in conjunction with the contracted Forensic Pathologist determine the cause and manner of death on all cases.
