Ivon Adams allegedly killed Athena Brownfield on Christmas Day, court documents say - KOCO Oklahoma City

BREAKING NEWS IS HAPPENING NOW. BREAKING NEWS JUST IN TO THE NEWS ROOM. REMAINS OF A CHILD HAVE BEEN FOUND IN RUSH SPRINGS. AT THIS TIME, THOUGH, ZACH, STATE AGENTS SAY THEY CANNOT CONFIRM THAT THESE ARE THE REMAINS OF FOUR YEAR OLD ATHENA BROWNFIELD, WHO HAS BEEN REPORTED MISSING SINCE A WEEK AGO. WE HAVE NEW COURT DOCUMENT THAT SAY SHE WAS ALLEGING THAT SHE WAS MURDERED ON CHRISTMAS DAY. ATHENA’S TWO CAREGIVERS ARE BOTH CHARGED IN THIS CASE. AND ZACH, IN THESE NEW COURT DOCUMENTS THAT WE HAVE TODAY, THEY ALLEGE THAT ONE OF THE SUSPECTS CONFESSED THAT HER HER HUSBAND BURIED THIS YOUNG CHILD IN RURAL BRUSH SPRINGS. YEAH, THAT’S RIGHT. OBVIOUSLY, THIS SEARCH HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR NEARLY A WEEK NOW AS IT SEARCHES BEEN HAPPENING THERE IN THE TOWN OF CYRIL. AND NOW EXPECTED SETTING TO THE RUSH SPRINGS AREA, AS YOU MENTIONED, ABBIE, THOSE NEW COURT DOCUMENTS SUGGEST THAT THE MAIN SUSPECT HERE, IVAN ADAMS, ONE OF THE CAREGIVERS HERE OF THAT POOR LITTLE GIRL THERE, HAD CONFESSED TO HIS WIFE THAT HE BURIED THAT THAT CHILD THERE. ANY RED ROSE SPRINGS OR THE FENCE LINE OF WHAT APPEARED TO BE MAYBE THEIR OLD HOME. HE APPARENTLY SAID IN THOSE COURT DOCUMENTS THAT HE PLACED A LARGE BROKEN BRANCH OVER THAT BURIAL SITE. NOW, RIGHT NOW WE HAVE MULTIPLE CREWS HEADED TO THAT AREA. WE HAVE SKY 5 PILOT CHASE RUTLEDGE THERE. AND WE ALSO HAVE OUR REPORTER JASON BERGER HEADING TO THAT SCENE RIGHT NOW TO GIVE US THE VERY LATEST INFORMATION ON WHAT HE’S SEEING THERE ON THE GROUND. SO JUST TO TO RECAP, IT WAS ABOUT A WEEK AGO THAT THIS YOUNG CHILD, FOUR YEAR OLD ATHENA BROWNFIELD, WAS FIRST REPORTED MISSING OUT OF SURREAL OKLAHOMA. THAT IS SOUTHWEST OF THE OKLAHOMA CITY METRO. SINCE THEN, WE HAVE LEARNED THAT HER TWO CAREGIVERS, ALISA ADAMS AND IVAN ADAMS, SHE IS RELATED TO ALISHA ADAMS. INVESTIGATORS SAY HAVE BEEN CHARGED. ALISHA A CHARGED WITH CHILD NEGLECT. IVAN ADAMS CHARGED WITH MURDER. AND WE DO HAVE NEW COURT DOCUMENTS TODAY DETAILING THE THE ALLEGED CRIME AND THE DETAILS ARE ARE HORRIFIC. BUT IN THESE DOCUMENTS THAT WE GOT TODAY, HE ALLEGEDLY TOLD HIS WIFE THAT HE BURIED ATHENA’S BODY AND RUSHED, BRINGS ALONG A FENCE LINE POSSIBLY ON SOME PROPERTY THAT THEY USED TO OWN. AND LIKE ZACH MENTIONED, PLACED SOME TYPE OF BRANCH OVER ATHENA’S BODY. THIS WAS BACK ON CHRISTMAS. SO THIS YOUNG CHILD HAS NOT BEEN SEEN FOR WEEKS. AND AGAIN, THE UPDATE HERE THAT WE JUST GOT IN FROM OSBI, OUR STATE AGENTS, THAT THE OKLAHOMA STATE BUREAU OF INVESTIGATION HAS RECOVERED THE REMAINS OF A CHILD IN RURAL GRADY COUNTY JUST OUTSIDE OF RUSH SPRINGS. AT THIS TIME, THE OSBI CANNOT CONFIRM THAT THE REMAINS ARE OF ATHENA BROWN FIELD. THEY WILL BE TAKEN TO THE MEDICAL EXAMINER’S OFFICE HERE IN OKLAHOMA CITY FOR POSITIVE IDENTIFICATION. BUT IF THIS CHILD HAS BEEN HAS BEEN MISSING AND PRESUMED NOT ALIVE FOR THAT LONG, THEN THOSE REMAINS WILL HAVE TO BE POSITIVELY IDENTIFIED BY A MEDICAL EXAMINER, EXPERTS. THAT’S RIGHT. AND THEY’RE FOCUSING ON A WHITE SPRINGS, NOT ONLY BECAUSE OF THAT APPARENT CONFESSION FROM IVAN, BUT ALSO FROM THE COURT DOCUMENTS THAT WE OBTAINED TODAY. APPARENTLY, RECORDS FROM HIS PHONE SHOW THAT IVAN TRAVELED FROM THEIR HOME IN CIRYL BETWEEN 4 A.M. AND POSSIBLY 5 A.M. AND THEY SHOWED THOSE PHONE RECORDS THAT HE WAS IN THE RUSH SPRINGS AREA ON DECEMBER 26, THE DAY AFTER CHRISTMAS, THE DAY BEFORE THE ALLEGED ABUSE AND APPARENT MURDER OF THAT LITTLE GIRL TOOK PLACE. SO WE WANTED TO CUT IN TO BRING YOU GUYS THE LATEST THAT REMAINS HAVE BEEN FOUND. AGAIN, NOT IDENTIFIED YET, BUT REMAINS HAVE BEEN FOUND IN RURAL GRADY COUNTY. WE HAVE SEVERAL CREWS ON THIS. THERE WAS ALSO A A FRESH CAUGHT APPEARANCE THIS MORNING FOR ONE OF THESE SUSPECTS. SO KOCO 5 NEWS HAS YOU COVERED ON THIS STORY THAT THE ENTIRE STATE HAS BEEN FOLLOWING AND AND PRAYING FOR IT FOR A DIFFERENT OUTCOME THAN WHAT WE HAVE BEEN HAVE BEEN REPORTING. AND NOW THIS LATE BREAKING NEWS THAT REMAINS HAVE BEEN RECOVERED. KE
