		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;police thatâ€™s just the way it is
 This isnâ€™t about the litttle girls name or the way he talks, ( which is absolutely stupid), lets just concentrate on the issue at handâ€¦ these two children are missing and the Father is a suspect, what donâ€™t you understand about that???&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Actually, they&#039;re not missing anymore, as noted in the article and at the update above it.  They&#039;re dead, and Randy Sylvester Sr. killed them.  Did you miss that part?

And I am sorry - I really am - that anyone would name a child &quot;Denim&quot;.  Bless her sweet baby heart and may she rest in peace, that is a horrible name.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Wow! Iâ€™ve been reading the post on here and I can say u people r not the brightest apples on the tree. The kids and their parentâ€™s are from New Orleans. To WRYBREAD!!!The language that the father was using â€œyou feel meâ€ and â€œyou heard meâ€ is what we say when weâ€™re trying to see if your listening or that youâ€™re understanding what I may be saying. So for him to say they should be looking for his kids and not in his face is because people in New Orleans donâ€™t talk to the news or

		<description>I don&#039;t care for Quanell X, but have to give him credit for hanging in there and working with the &quot;father.&quot; The detective in the second site listed below said that X earned the man&#039;s trust, he thought, and that&#039;s why he told where the kids were.

Quanell X retraces discovery of kids&#039; bodies

And I congratulate the police. Here is a video of an officer being interviewed.  This guy describes in detail finding the bodies. It&#039;s a long video that covers alot of stuff, but worth watching the entire thing. I found it moving to see this officer describe his feelings about the murders and the hunt.

		<description>Yeah, I agree that it&#039;s unlikely that drug dealers killed his children.  Moral queasiness over child killing aside, a successful drug dealer does not get that way , or stay out of prison, by being stupid or taking unneeded risks (outside of the drug-dealing aspect, of course).  Few of them are going to risk a possible death sentence--or even a lengthy prison term--by killing children over a relatively paltry drug debt.  Popping a cap in the ass of some loser druggie is one thing...kidnapping and killing two children is something else completely.  What illicit businessperson would be stupid enough to bring that kind of attention to themselves?  Let alone risk the possible sentence when they would be found out, for sure.  You might or might not ever be arrested and sentenced for drug-dealing.  But kill a child, or a cop?  Yeah, they&#039;re never going to stop looking for your ass.  I just don&#039;t see any way possible that a drug dealer hit makes any sense whatsoever.</description>

		<description>I think it&#039;s pretty safe to say that a drug dealer most likely would not kill and burn this mans children over a debt of any amount.

First it makes no sense, perhaps kidnapping them would be in the realm of possibility to hold for ransom, but very very few people would just happen to be drug dealers and also violent child-killers. There is a certain moral laxness in dealing drugs, but nowhere near what would be required to carry out the killing of 2 totally innocent children.......bad guys come in lots of degrees

If he really did owe money and it seemed hopeless to collect, maybe the &quot;mysterious drug dealer&quot; would have popped a cap in his head.</description>

		<description>I know I watch a lot of TV and that anything is possible. But, I want to believe that &quot;dealers&quot; would actually not kill innocent children for something as small as $4500. I know that criminals are ruthless but still most respect the innocence of our children. Right? $4500 seems so petty to me for a dealer who makes that in probably 1 day. If it was only 5k that would just be a good ass whoopin&#039;, right? Man, this guy is a piece of work.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Well he IS in Texas, has more reason to be trying any foolish B.S. he can come up with to hang it on some mystery â€œdrug debt/child killerâ€ because they WILL execute you in TX and it is not a 25 year process.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Yup.  Next up, he&#039;ll be crapping his pants and talking to his imaginary friend Foo-foo to claim mental disease or defect to get out of the death penalty.

Man up, Sylvester, take your punishment like the gansta you try to portray yourself to be.  You killed your kids.  Don&#039;t be afraid of getting the same sentence you gave them.  Tell the truth and give the family some peace.

Eh, I doubt we can expect something as noble as that from someone who hits women and murders babies.  I can dream though.</description>

Louisiana has executed 27 people since 1976, Texas 406..............Im not a big proponent of the death penalty but this seems like a case where it is more warranted than most and this dumb ass has the luck to relocate to Texas THEN decide to kill his kids. Karma, eh?</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Im confused, once he lead QuanelX and the police to the bodies, didnâ€™t he confess? Or even if not, isnâ€™t that action essentially the same as a confession? Knowing the location of your childrens bodies, and they happen to be in a trunk and suitcase that are known to be yours?&lt;/blockquote&gt;

You&#039;d think, no?  Not this fella.  He&#039;s claiming that he owed someone money for drugs and they killed his kids.  He says he knew where to find them because that was one of their &quot;meet up places&quot; (him and the drug dealers).  At another point, he apparently claimed that the bad&#039;uns killed his kids, but that he disposed of the bodies.  But then he told Quanell X that he killed them but it was an accident.  

In short....who the fuck knows?   This man&#039;s mind is a twisted mass of lies and bullshit he&#039;ll feed to anyone who&#039;ll listen.

Pick a story, any story.  Doesn&#039;t matter, really.</description>

I think the mom probably was used to the kids going back and forth between apartments, if the man never abused or threatened the kids before and was still married to her and their biological father, there would not have been any set visitation schedule and presumably she had no reason to believe he would murder them and burn their remains!

Her statements were probably inconsistent because she was embarassed/ashamed that she WAS so lax in keeping an eye on the kids and she still fully believed and trusted the dad, the domestic violence incident happened 24 hours after the kids were reported missing.......I would guess that was her first inkling that he WAS involved</description>

		<description>Y&#039;all, this is getting more and more gruesome.  Cops are saying they&#039;ve never seen bodies in that state.  The remains are &quot;mostly skeletal&quot; and &quot;bones are missing&quot;.  The medical examiner called in an anthropologist to try to figure out what happened to these bodies....  read it and weep along with me, won&#039;t you?

Cops: Pasadena dad killed kids in apartment

02:34 PM CDT on Tuesday, June 24, 2008

By Rucks Russell / 11 News 

HOUSTON -- A Pasadena man accused in the deaths of his two young children killed the kids in his apartment before burning their bodies, police said Monday. 

Randy Sylvester is facing capital murder charges for the slayings of his daughter, Denim, 3, and his son, Randy Jr., 7. 

The childrenâ€™s charred bodies were discovered late Friday in a wooded area in southeast Houston.  They had been stuffed in a trunk and a suitcase and lit on fire. 

The murders were so gruesome, police say even seasoned homicide detectives are having trouble coping. 

Police said investigators have been waking up in cold sweats, calling each other in the middle of the night and crying about what happened to the kids. 

One sergeant in the Pasadena Police Homicide Department told 11 News the scene was one of the worst heâ€™d ever seen, and it will haunt him for the rest of his life. 

He said though heâ€™s seen a lot of dead bodies in his line of work, nothing could have prepared him for what he saw that night. 

Police still donâ€™t have a theory as to exactly how the children were killed. 

The medical examiner has called in an anthropologist to help determine the manner of death.  The remains are mostly skeletal, and some of the bones are missing. 

The Sylvester kids moved to Pasadena from New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina with their father and mother, Jerilynn St. Cyr.  

Officials said the couple were married, but were living separately in the same apartment complex. 

They disappeared while playing near a playground at the complex last week and were the subject of a frantic, six-day search. 

During the search, police considered Sylvester their lone suspect. 

Local activist Quanell X visited one of the units rented by Sylvester.  He called it a â€œdog house,â€ and said it was filthy and littered with porn. 

After that visit, he said he knew Sylvester was not innocent. 

Sylvester eventually led Quanell to the bodies.  At a memorial service for the children on Sunday, the visibly shaken activist was largely at a loss for words, calling Sylvester â€œcold-bloodedâ€ and saying he was â€œangry as hell.â€ 

At the time of the kidsâ€™ deaths, Sylvester should have been in jail. 

Officials said Monday he had already violated his probation for a prior drug offense. 

Sylvester had failed to pay his probation fees, never got a job, didnâ€™t perform any community service and did not participate in a drug awareness program. 

Under normal circumstances, two to three months of noncompliance would get a case sent back into courts. 

On Monday night, sources confirmed to 11 News that the childrenâ€™s mother was issued a subpoena to testify before a Harris County grand jury. While not a suspect in her kidsâ€™ murders, law enforcement sources said her various statements to police about Randy Jr. and Denimâ€™s disappearances were â€œinconsistent.â€ 

Before he was charged, Sylvester told the Houston Chronicle that someone else murdered his kids because he failed to pay off a drug debt, and that he just discarded the bodies. 

But Pasadena police were skeptical about those claims. 

â€œThat particular statement would be especially difficult to reconcile in the face of the fact that according to Quanell X, he made the statement to him that he did it, but it was an accidentâ€ Pasadena Police Capt. Bud Corbett said.</description>
