No evidence of foul play, cause of death remains undetermined…

Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...

At this hour, FITSNews is investigating the death of an Upstate teenager following allegations of kidnapping, torture, murder and desecration of human remains.

On June 6, 2024, the skeletal remains of Tyrell “Rell” Wallace, 19, were discovered in a grove some 225 feet from his residence in Ninety Six, S.C., per an incident report from the Greenwood County Sheriff’s Office (GCSO).

One month earlier, his mother reported him missing after discovering an open bedroom window and an untouched dinner. A local Hardee’s has since confirmed Wallace was last seen alive when he applied for a job at the restaurant on May 7, 2024.

“I grieve with this in my own way,” said Wallace’s mother, Kennetta Robinson Bay. “It hits me late at night when I’m up by myself and go into those f****** woods. What happened to my f****** baby? What happened to my motherf****** son?”

In the aftermath of Wallace’s death, a pickup truck purportedly associated with a local family has canvassed Bay’s home at least twice, according to Bay. On June 22, 2024, she claims to have berated the driver after watching him park at her son’s place of death.

Despite the foregoing, some Greenwood County residents accuse Bay of killing Wallace. GCSO has since confirmed that there is no evidence of foul play to corroborate any social media rumors.

“That was my first boy,” concluded Bay. “Motherf*****’s are pointing fingers at me but don’t know what happened. Guess what? I know just as much as you know. And I’m the b**** that needs to know what happened!”

While my sympathies go out to the “mother…..ing” mother, I do want to point out that the purpose of the justice system is not to get answers or justice for her, rather that society at large gets answers and justice.
One of my issues with the Stephen Smith case has always been the call for justice and answers for his mother, Ms. Stephanie. Were that the point of the law, she could determine “who dun it” and then go blow their head off and justice would be served – however, justice is a corporate right, meaning that it belongs to us all and by God we all should be demanding justice in these cases!

She sounds lovely, is she single?

Nevermind, just saw her Facebook page… looks like the “bitch” is knocked up by another baby-daddy and made another “fucking baby” to replace her “motherfucking son”. On the bright side, her EBT payment won’t be reduced.

Are you people seriously mocking a woman for being angry at her son’s loss? I’d be out of my mind if it happened to me. Who are you to say whether it’s wrong to curse about it, when no one can tell her what happened to him?
