OUTRAGE!!! The Tragic Tale of Becca McEvoy … Victimized By Stepfather Bob Ingle & Then Again by the US Legal System (Part 1)
JUSTICE FOR BECCA MCEVOY!!!
For anymore who ever cared about their children and protecting children from not only child predators but our legal system as well, you must read the following story. To those in the media I would ask … Who is looking out for Becca McEvoy?
Since when in the United States do we care more about the rights of pedophile than the rights of children and justice for children who have been victimized!!! Law makers and judges better get their collective acts together before we look at them with the same disdain as we see the pedophiles and child predators themselves. Be prepared to be outraged by the story of Becca McEvoy.
Who has heard of the names and stories of 11 year old Rebecca “Becca” McEvoy and 13 year old Kristen Howard? The sad answer to that question is most likely, not many. The real question is why not!!! Maybe its because the media is too busy covering stories on what rehab Britney Spears or Lindsey Lohan in in. Maybe Paris Hilton has a new video out on the internet. Or maybe for some reason the media wants to more promote the stupidest video of the day on YouTube. If the media wants to play videos, they should play the following and I suggest all should watch them as well:
VIDEO 1 VIDEO 2 VIDEO 3 VIDEO 4
As we sit back and hear some of the media discuss, some the most inane news of the day, I have to continually ask myself why have we heard nothing of two little girls who were not victimized once by being molested, but a second time that may be even more heinous.
Listen the family members and friends of Becca McEvoy speak out and discuss the case with Dana Pretzer on Scared Monkeys radio regarding 11 year old Becca. Be prepared to be outraged.
Who is Becca McEvoy? Becca was an 11 year old girl with her whole life ahead of her. She had all the hopes, promise and dreams of an 11 year old. Becca was a precious little girl with a dazzling smile, who would light up a room.
MOBILE, Ala.) March 12 — Becca McEvoy’s personality spills out of pictures, photos taken of her before a terrible accident.
She was goofy, pouty, and her cousin, Theresa Jordan says, Becca’s smile was dazzling. “Her little smile, she’d just come in the room and light up the room.”
Family members wanted Becca’s face to be shown in the attached video of this news report because she doesn’t have a voice… not anymore.
Unfortunately that would not come to pass as we read from her obituary that Rebecca Lynn “Becca” McEvoy, a student at First Baptist North Mobile School, died Monday in an area hospital.
Becca had a story and a secret to tell. That story lead to the investigation into rape charges against Bob Ingle, a former Chickasaw police officer and stepfather of Becca McEvoy. At the time, a 10 year old Becca mustered the courage to tell doctors and police her story of sexual abuse allegedly at the hands of her then step father. Bob Ingle was charged with rape, sodomy and sexual abuse.
However, the case gets worse if that is possible for Becca McEvoy and her family. 11 year old Becca McEvoy after being sexually molested would later die in a car accident before the rape case ever went to trial. In steps the lawyer that would defend a child predator wanting to dismiss the case stating that his client has constitutional right to cross examine his accuser.
“If we can’t use what she said, the case is over,” said Steve Giardini who prosecutes child sex crimes for the Mobile County District Attorney’s office. He says there will be a hearing to determine if what Becca said before her death can be used in a trial.
That hearing was supposed to be held on March 13. It has been pushed back for a second time in order to accommodate cases where the victims are alive. Giardini says he wants to prosecute the case. Whether he can will be up to a judge.” She’s not here and her case might not be seen and if its not, I feel like I failed her.” (NBC 15)
Can you imagine that the fate of justice for a little girl is now in the hands of a judge. Please do not let children be victimized twice. It is bad enough that an 11 year old was raped, but to allow her to be raped again by the legal system is beyond shameful.
Yet again there was another form of victimzation by low life’s who have a special spot reserved in hell that would use the death of a 11 year old girl as a scam for their monetary gain.
Much more to follow …

Another complete mockery of justice.
The young and innocent pay with their lives…..Very, very sad. Who do we write? What do we do but sit back and watch another tragedy unfold ? Hundreds of miles away from Mobile, Alabama…but still feeling the pain.
I also have a problem with any MOTHER or FATHER who will plead ignorance and stand by while their child is being abused. This man gives all Step-parents a bad name, which is unfortunate. I am re-married and my Husband is the best Step Father any child could ever dream for……probably also a huge “positive” that divorce was amicable and the children’s real Dad is still very close and a positive role model in our children’s lives. Makes a big difference. For that Mother to NOT KNOW or be INVOLVED enough in her daughter’s life to protect her- she needs to be completely punished within the full extent of the law…. She was living with a monster and how DARE she let her own flesh and blood be a victim! These women are so ignorant, it’s really infuriating!!
You are one of God’s children now, Rest in Peace, Babygirl. = (
rest in peace sweet child you are now with the angels in heaven .. god has taken you out of your msad inviroment and placed you with all the other little angels..
R.I.P
meant to say sad inviroment
If I understand this, the judge told doctors and police that this “person,” a part of her family by marriage, had assaulted her. Doctors and lawyers generally are capable of determining truth from fiction.
And then the girl was killed in an accident.
And now the suspect is saying that her testimony is inadmissable because her having been killed prevents him from cross-examining her?
Didn’t the doctors who heard this tale examine her? And didn’t the police follow up?
My point being: if anything sane happened, then her story isn’t just “hearsay.” The people who heard her would be in a position, probably, to have a good idea if she was lying … and if she said this to doctors and police, and they DIDN’T check up, they ought to be prosecuted.
And following up on what A New Girl (#1) said … didn’t Rebecca confide in her mother first of all?
If not, why not? Or is her mother not saying to protect the man she lives with? This has happened in other cases … if so, she is lower in my eyes than the cockroaches that live in the jail cell she deserves.
Does anyone know who the judge is and what town this is in?
The family is trying to get some national media attention, so they’re asking for help with e-mails to news shows.
As for the “can’t cross-examine” argument, it’s disgusting. The little girl gave her statements and a doctor would be able to verify abuse. There’s got to be evidence of who abused her in that home if the police did their job — DNA on her clothes or in her room — something. Was she talked to by a child psychologist? An 11 year old knows fact from fairy tales and stories. If she’s talked to several officials, about this it shouldn’t take much more.
Any statements the girl gave to professionals can definetly be used as an affadavit.
I agree with #7 Lil Puma….just have to wait and see how this plays out.
Women must be advocates for the safety and well-being of their children. ABSOLUTELY NO EXCUSES! As far as the biological fathers who take off and are not involved in their children’s lives…shame on them as well for being out of touch. But, a Mother’s first responsibility is to the children she brings into this world. It is time for these particular women to be stronger and have higher self-esteem and STOP having relationships with pedophiles, freaks and sub-normal losers!! What is WRONG with them? They need to help themselves, educate themselves and stop using their ignorance as an excuse.
Anita Van Der Sloot raised a murdering, rapist, pathological, egotistical evil liar !! The woman in this story had a beautiful girl and she did nothing to help this child! She is just as rotten, rotten to the core as the disgusting man who abused her. I don’t care and don’t want to hear about.. ” I was afraid to say anything or he’d kill me…beat me…” blah blah—HAVE A BACKBONE…STAND UP- TAKE HOLD OF YOUR RIGHTS and DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT! Take action. Now this lady deserves what she gets, and I hope they come down hard on her as well. The perpetrator in this case needs to be castrated and taken out of his miserable existence forever.
Who is the lawyer defending the creep? I bet the lawyer feels real good about himself. We do not have people who have intergrity in the judical system…..it is all about the $$$$$.
I’m so angry I could slap the judge and the prosecutor! This is BS….Ingalls wants to face his accuser…here’s a flash the accuser is the STATE OF ALABAMA, Becca was the victim but the state brought the charges and they have the evidence, the state is the accuser!
What happens when someone is raped and murdered?? The victim is dead and can’t testify, the defense can’t face the victim because she’s dead, but the state proves the charges.
Infant rape, incapicated, mentaly and severly handicapped people can’t testify but these cases get prosecuted.
This is BS…Give this family justice and give them peace
I will be short, hang the bastard!
Write every news outlet you can think of. This isn’t the first case like this… there was another on Jacey Hardin…. pls read her story on the crimes against children…
make it happen y’all… I have every faith in you all.

Aden McEvoy is a wonderful Father, an honorable policeman. He is the one who made sure his little girl reported the crime. He took her to the therapist office and the Dr’s office and the grand jury. He did this because he is a good father and still wants to protect his little Becca. He is still recovering from his injuries from the car accident. He’s still grieving his loss.
I’m sure the mother feels terrible guilt from what her then husband, Bob Ingle, Becca’s step father did to her baby. I would hope she would come forward and share any information she has with the DA. It’s one of those moments that will either make or break the rest of her life. She’ll live hell on earth the rest of her life, if she doesn’t.
All viewers please write to the national media and the Alabama legislatures.
This could be your child or your grandchild.
This man is free right now. You know he’s not stopping his perverted sexual ways. He is hunting another child. It’s very possible and probable he’s abusing another child as you read this.
This is being tried by Steve Giardini who prosecutes child sex crimes for the Mobile County District Attorney’s office, Mobile, AL
QUESTION?
Does anyone know what the law is on what an accused pedophile can and can not do? Can they move out of state? Can they live with children?
Why would they allow that? Shouldn’t there be special consideration for sexual abusers of children?
I believe Bob Ingle’s Attorney is Michael Hardin

[...] Aden McEvoy, father of Becca McEvoy [...]
Going forward with this case is important for a couple of reason to me. One, justice must be served.
Two, if this case is allowed to fall by the wayside, it sets a precedence where pedophiles will be killing their victims more often to “get off the hook” so to speak. Since when is a crime no longer prosecutable because the victim is no longer alive???
Thirdly, what the hell is going to happen in murder cases? A victim of murder can NEVER tell their side of the story…does that mean there cannot be prosecution due to inability to cross-examine??!! Dirty, scum-protecting defense attornies are licking their lips watching for the outcome of this one. Imagine how they will use this case to point out why their OWN clients should be let off the hook?
Example of how this has already taken place in another arena…whether you agree with abortion and assisted suicide or not (I do not) it has greatly LESSENED the value of life for both the unborn and the old in our society. These two are the most vulnerable type of people, so how on earth have we come to the point it is OK for them to die? By many folks, the unborn and old are simply expendible, too much worry to bother with, drain on the existance of others, etc. Where will it end? In China, abortions are forced (read up on it if you don’t believe me). If we continue to devalue life, at what point with MY life and YOUR lives become too much of a burden to be “allowed” to continue to exist?
Alot more to think about than the horror that happened to this innocent child.
If Bob was a photographer and a pedophile I bet he was on the internet and I bet he has pedophile photographs on his hard drive. He didn’t just do this in person. He fed his sick appetite daily. Bet he still is.
Does anybody know anything about catching pedophiles via computer?
Can the investigator for the case subpoena his hard drive? His email account? The server?
Listening to Dana’s show last night and hearing Aden talk about special processes for children in court made me think, surely there is some.
I began to wonder if there should be a court appointed special advocate for Becca especially because she can’t speak for herself?

20. Brenda. Very good points raised. I suppose in the case of sexual abuse or rape, the problem is the “he said/she said” aspect of it. But when an 11 year old is involved, who has gone through the horror of reliving the attacks by giving statements, a Court would be sending a very dangerous message. It would also leave this person on the street, and as Stephanie Good said last night, they will repeat their crime.
21. Cherry: One of Dana’s guests last night, Stephanie Good, works with authorities to catch internet predators. Check out her book “Exposed” and look through Dana’s podcasts for her talks on Dana’s show. I’ll have to check out some of your links about children’s rights. It might help answer the question I asked Dana last night.
DANA: Two words — Wendy Murphy. We need her on this one.
Cherry, excellent idea! I have a situation where I was told I could stand in as a special advocate (of sorts). Have to tell this because it has been bothering me alot although it is unrelated to this topic (it is in a weird way re: the advocate).
Our farm’s been in the family 100 yrs. The family before us settled it in 1850′s and their graveyard was on the property and cared for until 5 yrs ago. Grandma died and estate fight was ON!! We managed to get a good bit of the farm, but the portion with the graveyard was sold to a “church”. The “church” decided they wanted to build their “church” on top of the grave site. I watched in horror over my fence while a back hoe dug up those graves and put the antique headstones in one truckbed, and the bodies/boxes in 3 others. I “trespassed about” on the land and did find the headstones hidden on a corner of the property, but as you can already guess, no newly turned earth. (the stones were stacked) So, my guess is they took the bodies to the dump.
I called the church and inquired about what they did and was told “they were removing an old dumpsite”. REALLY!!!??? I told the secretary my family owned that property 100+ year and I, myself had helped keep up that gravesite. She immediately hung up on me and they have yet to ever answer my calls or messages.
I found in Virginia if you buy land with graves, those graves become your physical property. I was told by a funeral director (after trying police and other avenues) I could get a lawyer and stand in as an advocate for the dead family to try and learn what happened to the bodies, but it would be expensive and in the end…the “church” basically was throwing away their own property.
Nice world in which we live…you know? By the way, three of those graves were for children under the age of 4 yrs old.
That all said, this young girl’s family members probably CAN be advocates. All depends on the state laws (I didn’t read the links provided above). Kinda like Natalee’s mom continuing to fight for her although it is apparent she is no longer with us. Some things are simply WORTH fighting for.
Brenda I’m so sorry for you. Thank you for helping Becca’s family. That’s a very good pt about the family being an advocate. I also wonder if there are some organizations trained in sex crime cases?

Statistics show pedophiles use internet. Curious if they checked his computer or IP address? Server?
FBI ICAC Task Force is located in Mobile. FBI probe known as Operation Site-Key. Agents found 20,000 online accounts at a company that sold child pornography over the Internet. Maybe Bob Ingle’s a customer?
Don’t know if DA did a search of the computer? DA should make sure nothing is missed that will help the case and make sure it gets done.
Just heard that was the 1st thing Becca’s Dad had done. They took to FBI nothing but adult websites. Becca’s Dad is a real hero!!
He could have been computer savy and known how to hide identity or went to library. Here’s an interesting read on the statistics of dual offenders. Pedophiles and internet child porn.

More disturbing news last night on the waroncrime blog radio show. Robin Sax was on with Aden McEvoy, I and Theresa Jordan called in also. (It’s very 1st part of show.) To listen go to: http://www.blogtalkradio.com/True_Crime
• Robin Sax does good job of explaining Crawford vs Washington Law. Law causes problems prosecutors last 4 yrs.
• Becca told little friend and mother who are willing to testify. Will they let it in? Or dismiss as hearsay?
• Bob Ingle has more than 1 brother who are also pedophiles.
• Bob Ingles’ own two daughters gave graphic testimony of the molestation they suffered for years by their father. They recently lawyered up and then recanted.
• Bob Ingle was allowed to move out of state and is living in a home with small children in MS.
• Investigation has gone all over south and as north as Pennsylvania, taking testimony from victims. Not one yet willing to come forward and testify.
• If Bob Ingle is acquitted he can apply for his old job back as a policeman.
• Still no national news attention. I don’t understand why not. (Got a ph call from Polly Franks (Franks Foundation) (she working on Warren Jeffs Case) she gave me ph#’s and will resend to her producer contacts)
Robin Sax did great job. She has offered to help.
I googled Aden McEvoy’s name and a whole page came up all on this story.
The question of a child’s advocate for Becca in court came up last week. Theresa spoke to her. Advocate spoke to DA and called Child Advocacy Group here in Mobile.
I have uploaded all photos of Becca to KodakGalley. http://www.kodakgallery.com/I.jsp?c=4r7yo0kg.7cnzq928&x=0&y=-p9rgtz&localeid=en_US

Hi. Unfortunately, Bob Ingle was my first husband. He is a master mind manipulator and a horrible person. This little girl was my cousin and although I didn’t know her very well, due to the fact I live in Georgia, she was a beautiful and precious child of God that would probably still be here today, if the actions of Bob Ingle wouldn’t have led to her all to soon demise. This man has molested his own children, my stepchildren, and I never knew about this until many years after they were grown and we had long been divorced. My stepdaughters admitted these things to me and even had their children checked for abuse as well. But he has either threatened or manipulated them and they will not come forward now. Whatever anyone can do to get this perverted bastard off the streets, they should do it. I have told all I know and unfortunately it was so long ago, it’s pretty irrelevant now. But it wasn’t irrelevant for poor little Becca and for her wonderful father who we lovingly refer to as “Woody”. I don’t give a flying crap about his rights–what about hers??? There is no person on earth more deserving of some prison style sodomy than Bob Ingle. Please don’t let this happen to another child. Show your outrage for Becca’s sake and get these sick predators put where they can never harm another child. And if he gets off on this one and he happens to end up dead, then I hope you turn the other cheek and chalk it up to well deserved street justice!!!

We have heard back from the Court of Appeals and Steve Giaridini with the D.A’s Office here in Mobile,Al. in the case of Rebecca McEvoy.
As you all know the evidence was sent to Montgomery to the court of appeals by the defense. DA Giaridini says the Court of Appeals has denied the request to have Judge Youngpeters decision overturned.
The defense is now having it sent to the Supreme Court and all though it’s not written in stone in looks good for now.
The D.A. says it will probably be ready to trial sometime early 2009. Possibly around May. Keep us in your prayers and pressing for “Becca.”
Thank You & God Bless,

I am GLAD the FEDS are investigating the da’s office given all this apparent corruption. I would encourage others to write to the US Atty’s or to the attorney general’s office and tell them Mobile need’s effective legal guarantees of personal-security.
I was shocked at what “Cowboy Bob” said in the papers today. He wouldn’t care if Giardini had killed Christ, he’d still be his friend? That was a TELLING comment! Shame on them if this is true! I hope the Feds can bring justice back to Mobile. I’m also thankful for the good media coverage on subjects like this and Becca McEvoys case. TV media coverage has helped enhance the accountability of the judicial process.
With all the case tried in Mobile I can’t believe the DOJ won’t come take a look if we all start writing them. Go to DOJ.GOV or http://www.stopfamilyviolence.org/
