Ashley Truitt turned 18 on the 15th of May, 2007.
On the 2nd of June, 2007, Ashley Truitt was on vacation with her family when she killed her newborn daughter by tossing her down a hotel trash chute from the seventh floor.
According to authorities, Ashley told police that she had hid her pregnancy from both her parents, Raymond and Patricia Truitt and her boyfriend, Jason Black.
Why’d she hide the pregnancy? Well, she claimed that she didn’t think Jason Black was the father because she had been sleeping around…
Quite the catch, Ashley Truitt was.
In a sick kind of way, I think Jason Black lucked out.
During her taped confession, Ashley said that she had given birth at about 4:30 in the morning in one of the hotel bathrooms.
With a knife she had found in the kitchen, she cut the umbilical cord that had, for 9 months, fed the growing life within her.
Gathering up the baby in some spare bath towels, Ashley Truitt put the helpless baby into a plastic garbage bag and walked down the hall to Wyndham Resort’s seventh floor trash chute.
Placing the garbage bag containing her baby onto the lip of the chute, Ashley Truitt gave it a little push.
When she got back to her room, she washed her hands in the hotel room sink, which woke up her boyfriend, Jason.
When Jason Black asked her about the blood trail down the hall, Ashley told him she was having her period. Then she went back to her room and went to sleep.
An employee found the bloody paring knife and a large quantity of blood on the seventh-floor bathroom and called the police.
Authorities who arrived at the scene at 9:30 that Saturday morning found the baby’s body in a dumpster on the ground level of the Pompano Beach resort.
An autopsy performed on the newborn determined that the little baby girl had died from blunt trauma to the head.
Ashley Truitt’s MySpace page makes for an uninteresting read, being set on private the way it is.
Her Ubersonic.org website is more interesting, showcasing Truitt’s abilities with rock/paper/scissors.
Justice?
Push Ms. Truitt into a Mothers Against Drunk Driving meeting, close and lock the door.

This is sick, and one of those crimes where torture should be allowed, and hell should be a treat compared to the torture given while alive.

God. A newborn. I don’t see how anyone could not have love for a little baby, even if they were an ‘accident’. How could she be twisted enough to do something like this? I can envision it in my mind, and it’s sickening.
[Reply]
Fuck you guys! you didn’t know her… her mom would of stabbed her multiple times if she would of known. Honestly you don’t know what you’d do if you were terrified and alone like she was…
[Reply]
i agree with whitney. fuck you guys. you dont know her, you didnt know her and you never will. she was scared out of her mind, and freaked out. you guys cannot sit there and tell me, if you had a phsyco mom, you would have told your mom you were pregnant by someone she cant stand. she doesnt deserve torture or the death penalty she just needs some hard-core mental help. she also needs somebody to be there for her and not hate her.

Funny how my mother told me many times that should would have rather died then anything happen to either me or my brother. My wife, the mother of our child hsa many times said the same thing.
I was put in to a position that I had to defend my daughter against a dog. I carry the scars with pride knowing my my daughter has none.
So FUCK YOU AND FUCK THE MURDERING CUNT THAT MURDERED HER OWN BABY.

“she doesnt deserve torture or the death penalty … needs somebody to be there for her and not hate her.”
Funny, the same thing could be said for the baby. Florida has a safe haven law, am I wrong? She had 9 months to research it, arrange adoption, something.
Simple math could’ve told her that she would be 18 - a legal adult - when the baby was born. Her “psycho mom” (you’re welcome for the spelling correction) had no legal recourse to prevent her from providing some kind of life for the child she created.
And speaking of “psycho moms” do you think Ashley’s mom would’ve dropped Ashley 7 stories onto her skull if she’d found out? No? We all know who the real psycho is in this tragic case.

WOW i cant believe anyone can defend the murder of a newborn. I don’t care what her mom is like, you can always turn to someone. Why didn’t you guys help her, Ashlle and Whitney, since you knew her so well and what she was dealing with? There’s no excuse, and the two of you dumb girls need just as much help as your slutty friend. My first bit of advice is keep your legs closed if you can’t deal with the consequences!
[Reply]
You GO! Angry Friend! I agree completely. For Whitney: Yes I DO know what I would have done. There’s not a psycho out there that would make me kill my newborn baby, not even the baby’s GRANDMA! Hell, give it away, run away, seek help before MURDER! And For Ashlie: Yeah, she DOES deserve death. You get what you give. Murderers deserve death. I can’t get a visual out of my mind of a tiny helpless baby being cared about so little by it’s own mom it had to die because she was a slutty little lying MURDERER! Take Angry Friend’s advice and keep your mouths and legs CLOSED girls!

Fuck you. Who makes a website dedicated to something like this? You don’t know her. You don’t understand her homelife and the fear she must have felt. You don’t have the right to make somebody look like a horrible person if you don’t know jack shit about them.

Mulch reply on May 21, 2008:
I don’t have to understand or know a damn thing about the person. There is no excuse for murdering a newborn. None what so ever.
[Reply]
WOW! Michaela is not only bitter, but a potty-mouth as well. The question is not who makes a website like this, but who CAUSES a website like this to come about. It doesn’t matter if we knew this murderer, nor does it matter to us how she felt. We did not make this person look horrible, SHE did that all by herself. And according to the Constitution, we have the right to congregate here or anywhere else to discuss it. As for knowing “jack-shit” about this baby killer, we know the facts. That’s all we need to know. If you don’t like the website, simply find somewhere else to go where people will share your views. Have a great day!
[Reply]
No such reason would justify murdering a new born. None.
You two twits are a prime example of the future generation.
Nothing is your fault, you cannot own your own stuff, nor take responsibility for your own actions.
I grew up very much abused, my mother choked me unitl I passed out and I came around to her spitting in my face saying she hated me, from when I was 4 to about 18.
No drugs, no therapy, and I am not out murding anyone or abusing anyone and blaming my mother.
No one did it but Ashley.
[Reply]
At the end of the day nobody is tryin to justify Ashley’s actions i dont think! but imagine it from her point of view- given birth to a baby that nobody knew about, your parents would probably kill you, family dis-own you! i am not justifiying what she did but she was obviosuly very scary and traumatic for her! at 18 she is hardly past a child! Fair enough she should never have got her self in this position, but it is really a shame that she felt she could not turn to anybody! not even her parents!!! more help should be available for poeple in these situations! I dont think she deserves hell she is young herself and this is something that she will have to live with for the rest of her life!!!! i am not a friend of Ashley, dont even know any of them!! but until you have been in situation most would regard as a nightmare you dont really know how you will react!!! so everyone slagging her and her friends, try putting yourselfs in other people shoes, im not saying what she has done was right!!! One day when something terrible happens to one of you or someone you know it might make you see things from another point of view!!!!

penny reply on May 29, 2008:
Imagine for a minute that she owned up to her responsibilities, or gave the baby up for adoption. You people are just as capable of murder for even trying to relate to her point of view. Anyone remotely defending her deserve to have their kids taken away, because who is to say you aren’t going to do the same in a stressful situation?

Syyd reply on July 13, 2008:
No one to turn to?!?!
Do me a favor - go google “unplanned pregnancy help” and scroll through the 10 PAGES of websites devoted to providing young mothers with all the resources they need to cope with this situation.
“more help should be available for poeple in these situations! ”
Really le? More help? How about a toll free, 24 hour hotline? How about hundreds of volunteers dedicated to ensuring YOUR careless mistake doesn’t ruin YOUR young life?
How about being able to dump your baby into a strangers arms and walk away, with no fear of identification or consequences for the abandonment? (www.asafehavenfornewborns.com/)
How about WIC, Section 8, state sponsored health insurance for children, free counseling and support groups for young mothers etc. etc. etc.
What other help needs to be available? Would it help if I just sewed her legs shut?
I feel connected to this story, as I also found myself pregnant, alone, afraid, and 18. I did NOT drop my child 7 stories onto her head however.
My now 3 year old daughter is asleep in her bed right now, secure in the knowledge that her mommy values her daughters life over her own petty fears and discomfort. I may not have had the resources to care for her when she was conceived, but I had fantastic motivation to turn my life around. We now have a home, I have a sucessful career, and my daughter wants for nothing.
And, before you all tear me apart. I did it the old fashioned way - by working LONG HARD hours, paying for immunizations out of pocket if I couldn’t afford insurance, buying baby formula instead of my own dinner, etc.
I did not suck at the governement teat to get back on my feet. I made my bed, slept in it, and got up the next morning.
So don’t give me “try putting yourself in other peoples shoes” bullshit.
The baby died because Ashley was a lazy coward. She chose the option that took the least amount of thought and effort on her part. Her baby died a horrible, inhumane death because she was too pathetic to seek any of the large quantity of help available for young single mothers.
[Reply]
it’s really funny how you guys argue all the time
[Reply]
she could have left the baby at somebodys door.she didnt have to kill it!!
[Reply]
None of you have any idea what was going through her head. She was alone, felt she couldn’t tell anyone and was probably terrified.
She had no idea what to do, and was likely irrational. Get off your high horses, people. You don’t know what the situation was. Have some compassion. I’ll bet she’s devastated about what happened.
Don’t rant about things you don’t understand. NONE of you truly understand what happened.

Mulch reply on May 21, 2008:
I hope she cries every day the whole day long. I hope she wallows in self pitty. She murdered a newborn human being. She should consider herself lucky if she is not put to death.
When she gets to jail I am sure there will be some women who will treat her as she deservs.
[Reply]
The girl murdered a baby. There is NO excuse for what she did. I cant believe anyone is defending her actions. And I also cant believe the mouth on some of these girls who should be behaving as young ladies. Some of you who are commenting are kids. Stay out of it when adults are talking. If you keep your little mouths shut you might actually learn a thing or two.
[Reply]
Okay. I’ll imagine myself in her shoes for a few minutes. (Might be hard as it is, as far as I know, biologically impossible for me to get pregnant, me being a man and all.)
I have a secret pregnancy. I give birth to the baby. I have a crazy mother who will kill me if she knows I had a baby. Okay, I keep the baby secret. I put it up for adoption, leave it on a doorstep if I’m extremely desperate.
At NO point does “kill it” enter into my mind.
And how the HELL did the boyfriend not notice the pregnancy?

What a coward ugly bitch. I know people who know her and they still write her in prison and try to be her friends. I got pregnant when i was 15 and i was scared that my parents were gonna be pissed they were strict but you know what they weren’t. They were sad that it happened but supported me and my bf who i am still with 2 years later. They even let me spend the night at my bf’s so it actually mad stuff better. And i had the baby girl and gave her up to my bf’/her fathers aunt and uncle and now she has brothers and sister and i still see her. So being pregnant young doesn’t have to turn out bad. I hope she gets murdered in prison she is a cunt!!!

I think you find them when people understand that no one “deserves” to be in hell more than anyone else. All our sins are equal in the eyes of the Lord, according to Christian mythology, so no one can sit in judgment of anyone else.
What she did was horrible and I hope she faces many years of prison time (and some therapy so she hopefully doesn’t do this again!). But we don’t know if she’s begged for forgiveness from her God, owned up to what she’s done, shown remorse, etc. It’s not up to us to decide whether someone should burn in hell.

Mazzi reply on July 14, 2008:
Unfortunately we DON’T have the power to send people there. But that doesn’t mean that we can’t give our opinion of whether a person should be there, if there even was such a place.
Have you ever heard someone tell another to “go to hell”? I bet you have even said it, haven’t you? And if you say no, I bet you are lying.
And wait a SECOND! You said, “blah blah blah… in Christian Mythology…” so you don’t even BELIEVE the crap you a defending? Go away, LOL.
I am a young mom(20) of a little boy at the time she killed her little girl my son was under 2 months old. I could never ever think about killing my son. He is my life. My dad was hell when I had to tell him I was having a baby. I have a crazy family and I did not kill my son. I get why some people feel they need to help her. But to them people you have to think about all of the people that have love and care for kids and think about the people that can not have kids. She could of gave that little girl up. It’s hard for anyone that has kids or wants kids to think about a mom killing one.
[Reply]
i can’t imagine anyone being so completely inhumane. it matters not what her life at home was like; if she was smart enough to cut the cord and come up with a cover story at the drop of a hat, she should have used those smarts to get out of a bad situation and go somewhere away from her supposed “psycho mother” where she could give birth to her baby without fear of any sort of motherly wrath…and then promptly give it over to more capable and loving hands. and then to turn around and say she didn’t tell her boyfriend because she didn’t think it was his, since she’d been sleeping around? a killer AND a whore. this girl is a murderer and should burn in hell for it, plain and simple. God rest that poor, innocent baby girl’s soul.
