Northeast Ohio Girl Was Missing in Texas
Was Riley Sawyers Ruled Out and Why?
DNA Sent to Galveston to Be Tested
Pictures of the Two Little Girls Bear Similarities
Could this be Baby Grace?
Authorities are looking into the possible connection between the Baby Grace case and two-year-old Riley Sawyers of Mentor, Ohio.
Riley Ann Sawyers and her mother, Kim, moved from Mentor, Ohio to Katy, Texas last summer. Galveston Bay, where the body of Baby Grace was discovered by a fisherman on October 29, is approximately 77 miles east of Katy.Riley’s grandmother, Sheryl Sawyers, says Kim moved to Texas after she met a man on the internet.
Kim and Riley had been living with Sawyers, who is the mother of Riley’s father Robert, for the past two-years.
Sherly and Robert have had no contact from Kim since she moved to Texas and they have been going through the legal process in both Texas and Ohio to try and get visitation rights to see Riley.
Riley is no longer with her mother who claims “someone from Ohio, with papers demanding custody” took Riley. Ohio officials refute this claim.
The pictures of the two little girls bear striking similarities, especially the cheekbones and facial structure. Baby Grace’s picture is a police composite.
Police today ruled out a tip they followed to Spring, Tx. No information was released on why police ruled out the Spring girl.
Did the Spring tip concern Riley Sawyers?
We don’t know. It seems unlikely, however both towns are in the same general area.
Katy is 48 miles southwest of Spring.
Police are pursuing multiple leads in Texas at this time. Two DNA samples were offered to investigators by parents of missing little girls. It was reported that Riley Sawyers’ father offered DNA today that was sent to Galveston.

Follow-up comment rss or Leave a TrackbackI live in Spring Tx. and this mornings news is sayings that Kim Sawyers was living in Spring. They did not mention Katy Tx.
I was watching our local news last night in Cleveland Ohio and that family is heartbroken! I cuddled my two year old blond haird little girl this morning and prayed for Riley’s family as well as Baby Grace’s (nothing’s confirmed this is the same baby yet…) how heartbreaking! What kind of mother expects us us to believe she just handed over her daughter in JULY and hasnt checked up on her since…. let alone let her go with strangers???? Thats absurd!
There are no words to describe the depth of pain this family must be feeling for not only the horrific way poor Riley left the earth, but the life she was subjected to by her “mother” and “mother’s” boyfriend. I am not a religious person, but I am spiritual, and I feel that sweet Riley’s soul is in a better place. As a mother, I am so sorry that poor Riley was subjected to living such a life of abuse and torture. My heart goes out to all those who mourn her and will miss her. Clearly, her “mother” and boyfriend are deeply ill people that need professional help. It is hard to not want to hurt them back for all the pain they have inflicted upon Riley, her family and the community. May God be with everyone.
