Shaina Allsop said she had no idea she was living with a "monster."
"Had I of known, I would have never married him," Allsop said. "I would have never let him get close to me or my kids. I would have never had kids with him."
When their daughter died in 2005, Joseph was home alone with the kids at an apartment near Ft. Hood.
Shaina Allsop said she had left the apartment to go check on a friend. When she returned home, Joseph was yelling that the baby had stopped breathing. He attempted to revive the baby with CPR but she was pronounced dead at Darnall Army Medical Center.
At the time, investigators suspected the infant died of SIDS and ruled the death "undetermined."
"We were told that there was nothing in the autopsy that they could find," Allsop said. "There was nothing as far as a murder crime, you know, anything linking us the parents to her death."
Now faced with the reality of what actually happened, Allsop said all she wants is justice for her daughter.
"I want him to hurt, but it doesn't matter what anybody does to him he'll never feel one ounce of pain he's caused me or my family," Allsop said. "Nothing we do will bring her back."
Shaina said her two boys are now in therapy to deal with what happened to them. She considers her oldest son a hero for coming forward and breaking the cycle of abuse.
"He tells me,
'Mommy, heroes have capes. I can't be a hero without a cape.' I said, 'Yes you can and you are,'" Allsop said.
