Riley Ann Sawyers (March 11, 2005 – July 24, 2007) was a two-year-old American girl who was beaten to death by her mother Kimberly Dawn Trenor and her mother's partner Royce Zeigler in a filicide. Her body was later found in Galveston Bay, Texas.[2]
The level of decomposition meant that police were unable to immediately identify the remains and began a nationwide effort to learn the child's name.[2] Riley Ann's identity was confirmed when her paternal grandmother, Sheryl Sawyers, notified police after seeing a composite sketch. Her remains were then positively identified through DNA testing on November 30, 2007.[3][4][5][6]
Prior to her 2007 identification, Riley Ann Sawyers was known as Baby Grace due to her age and sex.
