Christopher Gilreath

FORSYTH COUNTY, Ga. - On Friday morning, police officers were dispatched to a residence in response to a call to 911l. When police arrived at the residence of Miriam Pinckney, they found the dead body of 2-year-old  Joshua Pinckney laying in his bed. Also in the home was Miriam’s live-in boyfriend, Christopher Gilreath, 39. He was taken into custody because it was determined that he was a felon and was in possession of a firearm. Oh, and because he was a registered sex offender who conveniently forgot to register in GeorgiaGeorgia Rule reviewsGeorgia Rule reviews.

AutopsyAutopsy reviewsAutopsy reviews reports later determined JoshuaJoshua reviewsJoshua reviews died from multiple blows to the head. Christopher now has felony murder, aggravated battery and cruelty to children charges added to the list. Aside from being a registered sex offender out of Pennsylvania, Glireath also had a 1996 rape conviction in Tennessee. He is currently being held without bond at the Forsyth County Jail.

Miriam had adopted Joshua from Guatemala and he was one of two adopted children in the home. A 2-year-old girl was removed from the home by The Georgia Department of Family and Child Services. In this day and age…when information is so readily available, why wouldn’t any woman with two young kids take 10 minutes to run a quick background check on the men they decide to bring into their home?

    All I can do is shake my head… it has happened AGAIN! It won’t end here, and that is why my broken heart keeps bleeding.

    I have no idea. This just blows my mind. I don’t even think you sleep at night, Morbid, and if you do, I know you cannot wake up feeling rested and all sun-shiney! I sure as hell don’t after reading about these asshats every day! Those poor babies. This just really sickens my heart and makes me wish I could do more than just vent my outrage and write letters. Just ten minutes is all it would of took. Well, and some intelligence. Ten fucking minutes.

    My sister in law adopted a baby from Guatemala, he’s now 2 1/2 and his name is Joshua…what are the chances…wow.

    Looking at his pieceoshit face, I seriously think I can take him on. He likes to pick on small people, I’m 5 ft. nothing….bring it on baby killer. May this bastards lasting days be of anguish and misery. I hope he dies alone in his cell after he is beaten mercilessly.

    Rest in peace baby Joshua…kisses.

    ya know,I ran a back ground check on anyone I dated. Found some interesting shit out about one man. I even ran a check on my now husband when I met him. It only takes few minutes and most of the time it is free.

    Another life lost because of some no good “mother”. And to think that this child was looking to her for a better life. What a piece of shit.

    Of course he is, of course he did. How did I know this was going to be a factor…

    Miriam had adopted Joshua from Guatemala and he was one of two adopted children in the home. A 2-year-old girl was removed from the home by The Georgia Department of Family and Child Services. In this day and age…when information is so readily available, why wouldn’t any woman with two young kids take 10 minutes to run a quick background check on the men they decide to bring into their home?

    And what were the adoption people doing? Did they thoroughly check her out?

    And WTF is her problem bringing a rapist around her 2 young children? She needs to accept some responsibility for this happening! In this day and age, w/ the internet, you can do a lot of googling and research on people. I realize when meeting someone and getting into a relationship, the last thing you are thinking of or wondering about is does this person have a record? Should I search them on the internet?

    But chances are this didn’t just happen over one night! There had to be other signs he was violent and unstable! The chick should have done her homework and cared for her kids first and her vagina LAST!

    I have a two year old son and when i started to read this i almost hit the back button. Knowing that these things happen to children is completely heartbreaking and just completely blows my mind. Hopefully the adoption agency gets it right for the little girl. Sad thing is the adoptive mother probably only really cared about the couple hundred bucks she would get a month. If I could adopt every child that goes through this shit i would!

    She adopted these kids from Guatemala. She doesn’t get any subsidy – she had to have spent thousands, and probably tens of thousands (for each kid!) in order to adopt and bring them to this country. I would guess that she cares, and deeply.

    None of you knows anything about this mother. It’s easy to throw stones when you know nothing of the situation. I can’t imagine the horror and guilt and grief she must be feeling. She is not charged. That monster of a man who tricked her into thinking that he was an upstanding person, did this. She trusted the wrong man, and is going through hell for it. Now she’s lost her daughter, too. Sounds like she was just looking for a relationship since she was estranged from her husband. I know I have never done a background check – I guess I just got lucky.

    Are you going to blame a woman who is raped, too? This mother is a victim, just like her son. She made a huge mistake, and will pay for it with her heart.

    I am not throwing stones at her but hell fire.. he is a sex offender and that is something that she could have found out about if she only took the time to try to protect her children.
    She took time to adopt the children why not find out about him?

    You know everyone wants to talk shit about Chris. You know what about the mother? I have personally known Chris for 7 years now, and I know he is not capable of this. Did anyone ever stop to think for a minute, that maybe Marrium didn’t need any babies, she couldn’t handle the responsibilty, and the crying of a young child, and snapped. Just because, you did a crime in the past, doesn’t make you a murderer. If that was the case, a whole lot more people would be in jail. I think if they do the proper investigation, they will find the only victims in this case will be that little boy and Chris. I hope the mother rots in hell for eternity for this

    How coincidental John that you would be coming on here and spouting off your shit on the day of Chris’s first court appearance.

    http://www.accessnorthgeorgia.com/detail.php?n=217822&c=1

    I also think you are full of shit and should promptly fuck off. As of right now the mother has not been charged with anything. And like someone else has stated it costs a lot of money to adopt kids from other countries, so I’m thinking she had some compassion for children and just got caught up with some real nasty scum.

    Anyone who defends a rapist and a murderer deserves the same fate as scum suckers they are defending.

    Oh a rapist and RSO isn’t capable of murder! I call Bullshit….

    What he wasn’t capable of was registering in Ga. as a RSO and not having a firearm (since he was a felon).

    Seems like Chris is very capable of alot of evil things!!!! Guess we will see if a jury in Ga. thinks he is capable of murder. Don’t forget Ga. does have the death penalty.
    Maybe he should have committed murder on a 2 yr. old in a different state. Alot of folks are calling for it in this case.

    Apparently Chris here is a sociopath that talks a good game. It would seem that Miriam trusted him explicitly, and now this John Deer too. Who sounds slightly more like a woman than a tractor. He’s a rapist. Seriously, now.

    Listen here, you ignorant fucks! Get your shit straight before you come on here talkin smack. How do you know that the mother is not gonna be charged too? How do you know she is not capable of doing those horrible things? You don’t know shit! Just because she had the resources to have a children, doesn’t mean she deserved to mother them.

    We don’t know anything about her. What we know about him says, at the very minimum, he lacks impulse control and sound judgement in ways that actively hurt and violated other people. And that makes him look especially likely for an out-of-control beating of a toddler.

    *nodding head with hands up in the air* Thank you Castille, you put everything into perspective so eloquently!

    John Deer: Are you a perv, too?!

    All we know about the adoptive mom, she obviously doesn’t do background checks or google a potential boyfriends name before getting involved. All she is guilty of (at the moment) is thinking that ignorance is bliss….

    I know some inside info on this case and Miriam (the “mother”) had known Christopher Gilreath since high school and was well aware of his past charges. She was covering up abuse of both of the children(either cased by her or Gilreath) for weeks prior to joshuas death. I dont want you people to get the idea that she is a poor innocent victim of this horrible man. Infact she is a horrible emotionless monster herself. She had little patience with those babies especially Joshua.
