A young girl’s body is discovered in a trash bag on Deer Island by a woman walking her dog. I tried everything I could to ensure she was safe. It wasn’t until last week that the girl was identified.
As the prosecutor recounted the grim details, a spectator ran out of the courtroom saying “I hope you rot in hell!”
He said he went to police after learning the truth that Bella was dead. McCarthy went to her bedroom to “calm her down” and when Bond checked on them, she found McCarthy standing over Bella with his hand near her stomach; her face was gray and her head was swollen, Bond told police, according to Deakin.
According to the Globe, Amoroso was “sickened” by Bond’s account of Bella’s death and discussed with her whether they should contact authorities, though they never did.
Bond claims that McCarthy said, “She was a demon anyway”.
The drug-addled mother of Bella Bond watched her boyfriend swath the tot’s lifeless body in a garbage bag and stuff her in their refrigerator before the Dorchester couple went on a days-long heroin binge, a prosecutor said today.
Joseph Amoroso spoke with news outlets in Boston. The friend said on two occasions McCarthy locked the girl in the closet for 30 minutes to an hour, Deakin said.
The friend told investigators he then texted McCarthy, urging him to “tell me it’s not true”.
But last week, Bond told him Bella was dead and confessed that her new boyfriend was the killer.
A State Police trooper told McCarthy that his story and Bond’s story differ, and that an investigation had revealed Bella was not in DCF custody. “It only makes sense that Rachelle Bond was held captive in the house for five months, because nobody (saw her)”.
Monday night, candles aflame, hundreds gathered on Deer Island to remember Bella Bond as an innocent child whose death brought a state together in resolve to prevent future tragedies. The case file had since been closed. We are also grateful for the expertise of several outside laboratories, including scientists from the Customs and Border Protection agency, the University of North Texas, and IsoForensics Inc.in Utah. We thank the Winthrop Police for their critical assistance, and every other police department in the United States and other countries who helped conduct well-being checks.
McCarthy, who is not Bella’s biological father, and Bond were arrested last week in connection with the death. “You f***ing rot in hell!” toward the partition separating Bond and McCarthy from the courtroom.
Amoroso then said of the arraignment; ‘It was tremendously hard… probably one of the hardest things I’ve had to sit through’. That man then relayed that information to his sister.
Addressing Bella directly, DeLeo became emotional as he vowed that “your memory is going to live on”. Reporter: Police found books involving demons and death inside the home.
But Amoroso had a criminal record of his own in Florida.
Arrangements for Bella Bond have not been announced.
