Manassas, Virginia, July 7, 2009 - Further to my posts of March 4 and March 17 about the indictment of Alfreedia Gregg-Glover in connection with the murder of her daughter, 13-year-old Alexis Glover, the Washington Examiner reports that Ms Gregg-Glover pleaded guilty on Monday to her killing. From the article:
Alfreedia Gregg-Glover, 45, admitted Monday in Prince William County Circuit Court to felony murder, felony child abuse and filing a false police report. The Manassas woman faces up to 51 years in prison at her sentencing, which is set for October 2.
According to the Washington Post, after the plea, county police released the findings of an internal audit that found "deficiencies" in their response to reports concerning Alexis over the years.
Despite reports made to several county agencies over six years, the girl, Alexis "Lexie" Agyepong-Glover, was not removed from the home, and the case has highlighted shortcomings in the county's policies on child abuse and runaways.
The audit called for reforms in how officers train, respond to abuse reports and communicate with other agencies. From the Washington Examiner:
The report found that Glover lied to authorities; police and county social services failed to communicate with each other, and county employees did not follow proper procedures in response to abuse and neglect reports. The police department disciplined three officers for failure to follow department policy. Last month, a senior social worker was fired and two managers were disciplined.
As conveyed in earlier posts, Alexis, who was developmentally disabled, was reported missing on January 7, 2009. Sadly, her body was found submerged in a shallow creek two days later. Police said Alexis' body was placed in the creek bed the day she disappeared and before her disappearance was reported. Medical examiners determined that she drowned.

This case is very sad and I believe that a punishment should be given not only to the guilty but criminal charges should have been filed against social workers and police that handled the reports of abuse. In my opinion I believe that there is alot of unanswered questions as well as alot of lies that is going around in this case in order to protect the prince william county government and their mess-ups in this case, But thats just my opinion which doesn't really matter. I just want to get the public to think. Now me I personally have been lied on by not just one prince william county police officer in the past. Now dont get me wrong I'm not pasting judgement on prince william county government but I'm also not to quick to past judgement on Ms gregg-glover either but it would be nice to know the complete truth about the whole story and quite frankly the public will not get that from the prince william county police when they messed-up in any way on any case as well as the public will not get the truth from the guilty party so I dont past judgement on anyone. The little girl has to be thought about and I pray that the right decision be made and the real truth comes to the light whatever that the TRUTH is
