Ivan Hancock
Attention single ladies!
“Allusive male seeks female from broken home in low-income neighborhood, with young kids, preferably daughters. Hideous-looking, smelly, ill-tempered, lazy, cowardly, chronic, and a complete liar seeks a woman who has no idea of who she is or where she wants to go in life.”
Ivan Hancock, 46, faces murder charges in the separate killings of his girlfriends’ daughters in Colton in 2004 and San Bernardino in 2006. The two 15-month-old girls were both badly beaten; found two years apart in broken homes in low-income neighborhoods.
In 2004, lover boy Hancock was romancing Iyesha Marie Lightcsy, 27, who lived with her 15 month old daughter, Amber Russell, at Colton’s Four Seasons apartments, in Colton CA. On August 4, 2004, little Amber was found covered with bruises, with cuts on her throat and a cigarette burn on her chest, authorities said at the time. Colton police always suspected the couple and had arrested Hancock, but couldn’t obtain charges.
In late 2006, Don-Juan Hancock had started dating Talonia Henderson, 37, who had an adorable 15-month-old daughter, Talonia Kaye Johnson-Boutee.
Detectives arrested the mother on suspicion of child endangerment, however Henderson was not charged.Talonia Kaye Johnson-Boutee was found with blunt force trauma to her body. She died two days later at Loma Linda University Medical Center.
After Hancock became a suspect in the December 2006 beating death of another 15-month-old girl in San Bernardino, Colton authorities gained more evidence. San Bernardino County Deputy District Attorney Vicki Hightower, a recently hired specialist in prosecuting crimes against children, issued the complaint in both cases.
“We’re pleased,” said Colton police Detective Jack Morenberg. “It’s just a shame that another child had to die in the meantime. But we can only do what we can do and stay within the parameter of the law.” Authorities did not provide many details on what caused the charges to be filed this month —
more than four years after Amber’s death and nearly two years since little Talonia died. Morenberg said San Bernardino’s investigation helped Colton’s, and San Bernardino detectives said that theirs simply took a thorough review. “It was a very technical case that involved a lot of work,” said San Bernardino police Lt. Scott Paterson. “The DA’s office took its time, since the suspects were in custody and there was no public danger.
Hancock currently is serving a three-year state prison sentence violating his parole last January on a 2005 conviction of possessing cocaine base for sale, Henderson was later convicted of burglary and forgery, and is serving a state prison sentence, and Lightcsy’s status is unknown.
On November 12, 2008, Iyesha Lightcsy was arraigned in court, pleading not guilty to the charge of fatally beating her 15-month-old daughter, Amber Russell along with our friend Ivan.
Lightcsy was booked into Central Detention Center and her bail is set at $1 million bail. She will appear in court on November 20, 2008. San Bernardino County district attorney’s office, Vicki Hightower, reopened the case in September and filed the criminal complaint November. Hightower combined this case with a similar child beating from New Year’s Eve 2006 in San Bernardino where Hancock also is a suspect.
Talonia Kaye Johnson-Boutee, also 15-months, died from injuries nearly identical to those Amber suffered, investigators have said. Hancock and Talonia’s mother, Talonia Henderson, 37, are charged with murder, assault on a child causing death and child abuse in that case.

How horrible to take for granted the most precious things in life. Children are such a blessing. What the fuck is wrong with these people??
UPDATE AUGUST 09,2010: PressEnterprise Paper Riverside Ca
THIS IS MESSED UP…
Man sentenced in toddler’s beating death
12:27 PM PDT on Monday, August 9, 2010
A San Bernardino man was sentenced this morning to 15 years to life in prison for the killing of a 15-month old Colton girl in 2004.
The sentence, handed down by Superior Court Judge Arthur Harrison in a Fontana court room, was part of a plea deal agreed to last month by Ivan Hancock. He sat quietly next to his attorney and did not speak during the hearing.
Hancock, 48, pleaded no contest last month to one count of second degree murder in the beating death of Amber Russell, the daughter of this then-girlfriend, Iyesha Lightcsy.
Lightscsy also was charged with murder and later pleaded guilty to child endangerment. She was sentenced to eight years in prison.
Hancock was also charged with murder in the beating death in San Bernardino of Talonia Johnson-Boutee, who was also 15 months old when she died Jan. 2, 2007, after a New Year’s Eve 2006 assault.
That charge was dismissed as part of the plea agreement.
Hancock will not be eligible for parole until he’s served a full 15 years in prison and will remain on parole for life, said Deputy District Attorney Vicki Hightower, who was to prosecute the case.

Great story Ms.BadAss. Great that everyone is keeping the stories coming in.
As for this slime bag, how could the ploice NOT arrest him? Why did it take for a second child to die before something was done about this man?
Ive been in shock this week at the number of cases of child abuse out there. And the cases are all so brutal.
Where does this end?
I believe you meant third…are my numbers off…am I reading that right? Did 3 kids have to die before they had a case strong enough to press charges on this guy??
Amy it will end when mankind is no longer on this or any other planet.
I always find it funny how many people think they are better than animals but yet humans are the ones raping and slaughtering their children and animals will die to protect their young.
I almost turned to stone when I looked at his picture. Nice to see the mothers get charges. I am tired of these stories. Child abuse should equal immediate sterilization. And the first person who says something about it being wrong to take away a person’s basic human rights… Should be SHOT.
i would run far and fast from a face like that. wth is wrong with these women letting him into their homes and near their poor children?
he looks like he’s up to no good. i am surprised he didn’t assault the poor baby girls in other ways first.
You gotta love that moustache though he looks like John Waters ethnic base head brother
Careful now, John Water is the man who wrote, produced & directed Pink Flamingos, one of the finest works of cinematic bad taste ever filmed. A man like that deserves our respect. If your dream is to see a grown man eat real dog shit, this is the movie fir you. Seriously though, It’s one of the funniest movies ever made, and one of my top 10.
As much as i love Flamingos (huge fan man believe me) my heart always lied with Desperate Living by far his weirdest and wackiest film
You do have a point Stormy & DL is one of Water’s best, maybe even the best, but I just gotta have my Devine fix.
I’ve been searching my whole life for a good woman like divine ;)
LoL stormy
Pink Flamingos can’t be beat guys… There is a guy that sings with his butthole in that one…
Are you fucking retarded?
Can’t say it’s not possible…
Hey Ivan, where did you find that ugly bitch?
First and foremost Ivan Hancock, love the hair. Hopefully his cellmate likes it as much as I do. Imagine, he’s going to have to tell fellow inmates that he’s a crackhead or a meth-addict because baby killing doesn’t really grant someone that much respect. I guess those little babies deserved it, tormenting this poor grown man with all the crying and the incontinence. Kids, will they never learn? You scream, I burn you once with a cigarette, scream some more and I’ll continue by beating your about the face and neck. How could they not understand this simple concept?
Sarcasm aside, this guy is truly a magnificent piece of shit. Congratulations you are going to hell.
That is some bad, bad hair….
alien vs. predator! look at that brow… sheesh.
Ivan Hancock has been an abuser of children his entire life. The San Bernardino P.D. and the Colton PD should delve further into his background and find how he abused his own nephew, T. Burley and others. It is criminal for men like him to be in protective custody. He should be held with other violent felons and receive similar injuries repeatedly. May he rot in hell!
This story hits me deeply for two reasons 1) i have little children and 2) i work with this babies grandmother and it tears her up each day thgis man is not punished, mean while her daughter is also in jail so she gets the doubke the stress…
THIS STORY JUS BOTHERS ME SO BAD. I USE TO CHANGE AMBERS DIAPERS AND VISIT HER AND I NEVER KNEW THERE WAS ABUSE IN THE HOME BECAUSE I JUST KNEW MY FRIEND @ THE TIME IYESHA LIGHTSCY WASNT THAT F*&KING STUPID!!! SHE HAS HAD ANOTHER CHILD AFTER THIS HAPPEND. SHE JUST BASICALLY KILLED TWO KIDS. HER NOW 3YR OLD IS SUFFERING FOR HER SORRY A#* MOTHERS MISTAKES. IYESHA HAD LIED TO ME ABOUT THIS WHOLE CASE AND TO EVERYONE ELSE!!! NOW I KNOW THE TRUTH AND IT KILLS ME. MAY BOTH THESE SICK MOTHERS DIE IN HELL. AND I HOPE THE OTHER INMATES IN PRISON MAKE AN EXAMPLE OF ALL OF YOU, ESPECIALLY U IYESHA! YOU ARE SUPPOSE TO PROTECT YOUR CHILDREN FROM THESE TYPES OF SITUATION NOW PUT THEM IN THEM. BLESS HER OTHER TWO KIDS ALSO, BUT THEY ARE IN BETTER AND SAFER HANDS. HOPEFULLY THEY WILL GROW TO BE PRODUCTIVE INDIVIDUALS AND NOT HATE THEIR MOM, BUT FORGIVE HER AND MOVE ON WITH THEIR LIVES AS PRODUCTIVE CITIZENS. I DONT THINK SHE REALIZES THAT SHE HURT ALL HER CHILDREN AND I SEND MY LOVE TO THE OTHER CHILDREN BECAUSE I SPENT ALOT OF TIME WITH THEM ALSO. LOVE CACHIMAY
