Florida Mother Who Reported Abduction Of 9-Year-Old Son With Autism Charged In His Death After Admitting Role
Yesterday we shared that a Florida mother faced her worst fears after she reported the abduction of her non-verbal 9-year-old son with autism. After police discovered his body, they called off their search. Now, the boy’s mother has been charged in his death after admitting to the role she played in it.
Before her arrest, Patricia Ripley, 47, told Miami-Dade County police that two black men sideswiped her and blocked her car off on the road. She says they approached the vehicle asking for drugs, and when she said she didn’t have any, they proceeded to take her phone and child, Alejandro Ripley. Hours after an Amber Alert was issued, authorities canceled it, confirming they’d found the boy’s body in a pond at the Miccosukee Golf & Country Club.

After their investigation, authorities have now arrested and charged the mother with first degree murder. During interrogation, she admitted to trying to drown Alejandro hours before he died. Authorities say she was unsuccessful when a good samaritan stepped in. Miami-Dade State Attorney Katherine Fernandez Rundle adds, “An hour later, she brought the boy to a different canal … this time, there was no one there to save him.” Police say she admitted, “He’s going to be in a better place.”
