    Baby Grace Trial Set to Begin

    In October 2007, the remains of Riley Ann Sawyer, dubbed 'Baby Grace' by authorities, were found in a plastic container in Galveston Bay.  Riley's grandmother saw an artist's sketch and told authorities she believed the girl was her granddaughter.  Riley was later identified; her mother and mother's boyfriend were arrested and charged with her murder. Authorities say the girl had been beaten severely and died from her injuries.
