This is a follow-up to the horrendous story of the murder of a little girl in Mexico. Obviously someone isn’t saying the truth. One has to believe that it was either the father or mother that killed that little girl. The only other alternative is that one or both of the two nannies did it. Someone in that household must be the guilty party. TGO

MEXICO CITY – A Mexican father has cast doubt on his wife’s innocence in the death of their 4-year-old daughter, whose body was found in her bedroom a week after her parents reported her missing. Her mother tearfully insisted that she was innocent.
The case of Paulette Gebara, who was being buried Tuesday, has riveted Mexico since the girl’s parents reported her missing on March 22.
Sympathizers were shocked when police found Paulette’s body wedged between the mattress and frame of her own bed in a luxury apartment on the outskirts of Mexico City. Investigators said she was suffocated.
Police detained her parents and two nannies last week but released them without charge after several days of questioning. All four remain under investigation and are barred from leaving the country.
Paulette’s father, Mauricio Gebara, refused to defend his wife’s innocence when asked about it in an interview late Monday with local Televisa network. Gebara said he was only certain of his own innocence.
“The only thing I can say is that for me, it wasn’t an accident,” Gebara said of his daughter’s death. “I can only speak for myself.”
In separate interview with Televisa, the mother, Lizette Farah, sobbed as she insisted she had no idea why her husband was suspicious of her.
“They have played a lot with our minds. Maybe he didn’t have enough trust in me because I have never doubted him,” Farah said, sobbing.
She said her husband has asked her not to attend Paulette’s wake Monday.
“My husband told me he didn’t want to see me again,” Farah said, although she said she would attend the funeral Tuesday.
Farah, a lawyer, says she last saw Paulette when she tucked her into bed on the night of March 21. She says when Paulette nanny went to wake her the next morning, she was gone.
In the interview, Farah insisted she had no idea how her daughter’s body ended up in her bedroom. She said she was outside her home when police detained her last week and that a psychologist told her that her daughter was found dead.
“It was the last thing I wanted to hear,” Farah said. “All I know is that I lost my little angel.”
She said her daughter, the younger of two sisters, was born with a disability that impaired her speech and movement on the left side of her body. She said Paulette had made progress with therapy and was able to feed herself, climb stairs and use the bathroom on her own.
Farah insisted she never considered caring for her daughter a burden, as Mexican have widely speculated.
“She was always a fighter,” Farah said, her face again crumpling into sobs. “Nobody could believe what that girl had achieved.”
