Travis Mullis, the man believed to have thrown his child out of his car and on the side of the road, has been captured and is behind bars in Philadelphia. Texas authorities will be seeking his extradition as early as possible. According to Philly police, Mullis confessed to purposely murdering the 3-month-old baby, and the details were even more horrific than previously imagined:

Police said Mullis told a gruesome tale of repeatedly stomping his son on the head before discarding the body on a seawall in Galveston.

Police said Mullis was able to get from Galveston to Philadelphia without anyone recognizing him because he took advantage of several churches.

“He said what he did was, he would stop at a church and tell them a sad story, and he would get money from a church. They would give him money,” a representative said.

The shocking story of the baby thrown from a car and left at the side of the road has an update. Police have identified the infant, and are now in search of his father as a “person of interest”. An autopsy also revealed that the baby was murdered before being tossed out of the vehicle.

A search was under way for Travis Mullis, 21, after an Alvin woman, whose name hasn’t been released, tentatively identified the body as that of her son. She contacted police on Tuesday, saying she hadn’t seen her son since Mullis took him that morning.

A couple who were bird-watching discovered the baby’s body Tuesday afternoon after first mistaking it for a doll.

The couple believed to be the baby’s parents had argued the night before the infant was killed, police said Wednesday.

You may recall the town of Galveston, Texas, where “Baby Grace” was found abandoned. Today, there are in the news again for another mysterious death resulting from head trauma which was most likely caused from abuse. The baby boy was only a few months and discarded like a piece of trash.

GALVESTON, Texas — A baby’s body and car seat have been found in Galveston, KPRC Local 2 reported.

Galveston police said a couple driving around looking at wildlife spotted what they thought was a doll near Seawall Boulevard and Ferry Road at about 9 a.m.

Jesse Zaro said he got out to look at it and discovered it was a baby. He said he became ill, cried and nearly collapsed before telling his wife about the shocking find.
