Royce Clyde Zeigler II - who is he?

[PatC]

Why can't we find out more about this man???!!!

We know about Kimberly Dawn Trenor Zeigler from stem to stern but all I can find about this man is he's 24, and graduated from Klein High School in 2002, attended Tomball junior college for a brief time, played World of Warcraft, got married to Kim on June 1, and on or about July 24 he helped beat and drown his step-daughter to death.

He is said to have taken "a day off from work", but where he worked hasn't, to my knowledge, been released... or what he did for whomever he worked for.

I found his Classmates.com account but there's nothing there. The only thing I find on the internet about him is references to this case, but nothing about who he is.... :duh:

Why is no one talking about him? No high school classmates telling about him, no teachers discussing what a good/bad/indifferent student he was, ... nothing that I can find.

Anybody out there know anything? Care to share?

Inquiring minds want to know, doggone it!

Attorney says stepdad didn't kill toddler

HOUSTON — An attorney for the man accused in the torture-death of the toddler known as "Baby Grace" blamed the girl's mother Thursday for her gruesome death.

Neal Davis III said Kimberly Dawn Trenor has mischaracterized the events leading up to 2-year-old Riley Ann Sawyer's death and unfairly pinned the blame on her husband, Royce Clyde Zeigler II.

I know I didn't have any problem with it. I thought maybe her computer was blocking something from her. I know when I first got this one with Vista on it, it seemed to be trying to "protect" me from myself way too often. http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g258/PatC_pics/smilies/shake_puter.gif

Well, I'm headed night-night so Santa can come by. http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g258/PatC_pics/smilies/offtobed.gif

Baby Grace's mom, stepdad face capital murder charges

EXCERPT

Zeigler's dad's ex-wives say case sounds familiar

About 30 years ago, she had been married to Zeigler’s father, who she said imposed the same disciplinary rules on their baby daughter and became violently enraged when she tried to intervene, once grabbing her by the throat and smashing her head into a kitchen cabinet.

“What (the younger Zeigler) did with that child was exactly what I saw, but mine never got killed,” Grofer said.

Grofer and another of Zeigler’s four ex-wives are pleading for mercy for Zeigler II, 24, and his 19-year-old wife, Trenor, saying they were caught in the same cycle of violence that threatened their lives decades ago.

Their being caught in a cycle of violence sure doesn't explain their keeping that baby's body in a box for months. How could they sleep?

Makes ya wonder, don't it?


I don't believe there is any excuse for what they did.

Now he is claiming to be innocent, so I suppose they will be pointing the finger at each other.

Someone once said children know there is a boogyman, they just don't always recognize him.
I think they are both boogymen.

*********** RUMOR ALERT *********

A good friend of mine works as a clerk for Bexar County (San Antonio) criminal court system. She received an inquiry from Galveston County about moving this case to Bexar County. Wanted to know the current # of registered voters, county population, other stats about parking, hotels by courthouse, etc. Like I said "rumor" right now, but it does make sense.

They are probably making an inquiry all the surrounding LARGER populated counties (to draw a bigger jury pool). San Antonio is about 220 miles from the Galveston area.

FWIW: Bexar is pronounced as Bear.

ETA: My DIL grew up in Spring but went to another high school. She's going to be visiting her parents next week if she can't fly out of Vail, Colorado with the snow storms they've been having. She graduated in 1996, but knows some folks that went to Klein High. She's going to snoop around for me. lol. Now I have my DIL interested in snooping!!!
