Quezada told police when the closet
door was opened she saw that her daughter was tied up with her wrists
behind her back -- and that she was restrained in such a way that
prevented her from sitting down.
The child was eventually released from
the closet. The child said she was hungry and her mother made her half
of a peanut butter sandwich. When Leiliana had trouble swallowing the
food, Quezada began slapping her on the chest and smacking her in the
head while ordering her to swallow the food.
Quezada said Phifer then put on black
gloves, forced the young girl's mouth open and forcefully poured
Pedialyte into her mouth. Quezada said her daughter then stood next to
her, looked down and said nothing before saying she was going to throw
up.
The girl ran for the bathroom, but
didn't make it. She threw up in the kitchen along the way. When she came
out of the bathroom, Phifer grabbed her by the throat and lifted her
off the ground with one hand and slammed her into her into a wall in the
closet; police said this action left an indentation in the wall.
Quezada said Phifer screamed and cursed at the child and threw her into the closet before closing the door.
According to Quezada, her daughter was
allowed out of the closet about 15 to 20 minutesQuezada asked her if
she wanted to tske a shower, she said yes, and she was allowed to take a
shower on her own. She said she left the bathroom to get her daughter
some pajamas then heard Phifer in the bathroom saying, "Get you some of
this" before hearing her daughter fall in the shower.
The Tarrant County Medical Examiner's Office said Leiliana suffered bruising ‘from head to toe’ and had whip marks on her back.
Quezada is being held on a charge of
injury to a child with a bond set at $500,000. Police hasn't arrested
Phifer on any crimes yet.
