Episode Details

A five-year-old boy died from blunt force trauma in Newport News, and new court documents reveal chilling text messages suggesting his mother’s boyfriend, a convicted sex offender, may have beaten him with a belt. The child’s mother, Katrina Sudberry, now faces murder and child abuse charges after admitting she was in communication with Martin about the boy’s injuries — even as she claimed to be the sole caregiver. Martin, who was left alone with the child while Sudberry worked, was charged with second-degree murder after police uncovered a broken belt and extensive bruising on the boy’s body. The investigation continues as evidence paints a horrifying picture of neglect and violence.
