Roughly thirty minutes—that’s how long Alexee Trevizo was in the bathroom at Artesia General Hospital. And evidently, that’s all the time the teen needed to allegedly commit an inconceivable act that left medical professionals who thought they’d seen it all stunned and sent the internet on a hunt for the truth. But as more evidence comes forward, will time prove the teen’s guilt? Or will blame shift in another direction? Was there anything that could have been done?
Let’s uncover the mystery behind Alexee’s bizarre actions the night of January 2, 2023.
It was december 2020, when alexee trevixo first approached new mexico’s artesia general hospital with an issue
the 19 year old high school student was suffering from severe back pain or at least that’s what medical professionals treaded alexee for before sending her her way
but just weeks later on the night of january 2nd, alexee awoke in the seame excruicating pain with her mother at her side, the teen returned to the hospital
a visit that ould chance the lives of everyone invovled
the preliminary examination ran on alexee that night sparked concerns,as the teen’s heart rate and demeanor suggested a more complex diagnosis than simple back pain.
quickly, she was moved into another room for further testing, allthough alexee wasn’t the most willing or open patient for those attempting to help her.
with her baggy clothes,and maneuvers awway from the hands of the medical team it seemed that alexee didn¨t want her body to be seen. let alone touch.
but there was one condition known to cause back pain that experts hadn¨t ruled out – pregnancy
and while the teenand her mother rosa rodriguez insisted she hadn’t been intimate with anyone , a laboratory test begged to differ- alexy was pregnant.
but befor congratulations could be extended the highschoolerasked to be excused and rushed to the bathroom
and despite alexee’s speedy getaway,once that bathroom door was locked the teen took her time- and as mminutes ticked by,hospital staff became worried .
her mother rosa, also made two visits to the bathroom door to which alexee did not open for.
and although alexee claimed she was fine ,the symphony of running water pushing of a paper towel dispenser and near -constant flushes suggested all had not gone well on the teen’s bathroom trip.
after 20 -30 minutes, medical staff treatened to unlock the bathroom with keys a statement that prompted the bathroom door to finally swing open .
and , what a scene greeted them,and there amid the crimson stains splattered across the washroom and the smeared vital fluid on the floors that hinted at a rushed cleanup job ,stood alexee.
a trail of red footprints market the teen’s path back to her doctor where an examination began immediately
as for the mess alexee left behind well, that was now the housekeeper’s responsibility, the hopsital emplyee dutifully made their way through the badrhroom cleaning the floors, the walls ,the toilet
even the footprints alexee had left in the hall …
before making her way to the trash wich despite containing an emtpy bag
held a weight ,the housekeeper lifted theclean liner and there at the bottom in a seperate bag twisted at the top and wrapped undernath was an infant’s body
she quickly got the attention of other hospital stuff who confirmed the housekeeper wasn’t mistaken ,indeed ,stuffed amnongst trash at the bottom of the bin was a baby
the chold was then thaken to another room for examination where it was shortly determined he had already passed
and while life and death past through hospital every day ,the way the baby had passed didn’t just make what happened that night a tragedy ,it made artesia general hospital a crime scene
and alexee, the number one suspect
when officers arrived , a charge nurse caught them up on the situation from the state of the bathroom …to what was found in the garbage to the criminal implications that this dicovery had.
as for what had happened in the bathroom, the nurse was unsure and he didn’t seem to think law enforcement would squeeze the trutht out of alexee
and given the size of the infant’s body, was it possible alexee was lying about her pregnancy for months?
but now the charade was over , and the medical staff along with officers had to inform alexee in front of her mother , about what thay had found after she left the bathroom.
and right then and there, alexee who had adamantly denied she could be pregnant up until this point, confess to her mother
but before alexee could answer the doctor intervened
alexee was set to be transferred to another hospital for treatment but not before more details of alexee’s bathrooms birth were revealed .
but the mother was right , alexee could get in trouble and it seemed already was
yap , the 19 year old wasn’t leaving this nightmare anytime soon and while the hospital might not have been as intimidating as acell alexee was still detained and unable to leave or accept visitors
a fact her mother hadn’t considered when she left the hospital briefly and attempted to return to her daughter .
so the mother, the stepfather, and alexis boyfriend , and his mother holed up in the waiting room and as the family offered answers to law enforcement’s questions alexee was left solo something she seemed uncomfortable with.
the night ended with the teen being airlifted to another hospital
and while it was an undeniably traumatic series of events for both mother and daughter
they weren’t the only ones affected by what had taken place, it was a hard night for everyone on the job at the hospital
from law enforcement …
to staff
and just like the medical professionals had their suspicions about alexee
so did the internet
after all, it seemed the supposedly unexpecting mother might have been in the dark as she had made herself out to be or at least , that’s what video footage suggestested
in early january ,the same month alexee later gave birth ,the teen was caught cheerleading in a video of a high school basketball game an unusual activity for someone who was weeks away from giving birth, especially considering the risk of simply standing sidelines put the teen and her unborn baby if a fumbled ball came her way.
but it wasn’t just the unwise activity choice that caught public interest, it what the footage seemed to expose.
see, while alexee’s might have concealed her pregnancy
in her tight -fittedchearleding outfit, the teen’s sizable baby bump was on fulll display
but if the teenager couldn’t hide the bump from the public, how could se hide her pregnancy from herself?
well according to theories circulating socal media she hadn’t
and to some ,older photos seemed to not only confirm the targeted wight gain had been a recent development
but that alexee had possibly been trying to hide her he developing bump.
but even if alexee hadn’t known she as pregnant, according to public response, that was no excuse for what she did.
in fact alexee could have surrendered the child to artesia general hospital without any repercussions.
yet despite the wieder internet rallying against alexee ,some found the 19 -year old ‘s story to be more gray than black and white .
as one user wrote ” i am so torn with this one , no she did’t handle t at all well but we don’t know the circumstances & what was actaully going on . just what is presented.
and others commented : it sounds like she thought she had a still born and panicked
“poor girl i can’t imagine being that young aand scared doing what i thought was the only way option and being punished “
” i thin her parents traumatized her in a way that she was so scared of them she did this . it’s wrong but i have no other explanation”
speaking of parents ,it seemed alexee’s mother also hadn’t an escaped criticism according to what the mother told law enforcement, her daughter often suffered from back pain and onther issues with her body.
these issues were caused by alexee’s premature birth which the mother alleged was the result of DV allegedly committed by her ex-husband while she was pregnant a with alexee.
a history that meant she hadn’t even had to question the cause of her daughter’s physical aliments.
but could the mouther really have bveen so blind? to her daughter’s chaning body?
the internet wasnt sold,an it seamed and it seemed even
law enforcement believed the mother might have had more to tell than she let on.
but if alexee’s mother had known her daughter was pregnant, this woud mwan her reaction the news , he appearent shock and devastation as it all an act?
and according to theories spreading across social media , thepublic had indeed been duped.
the mother’s role was was evident, some believed.in fact her alleged deceit was right there in the body vamera footage where her worry about leaving her dauhgter alone, now apeared less maternal and more conniving,just like her reaction to the doctor going through protocol….
when the doctor said ” the baby’s gonna have to be taken for autopsy .”
… now seemedto hold a smirk.
on facebook one user wrote:when the police come in to tell alexee they’d found her newborn son her mother states :we talked about this “
how could they have discussed something that wasn’t known about untill minutes earlier? something is fishy! math ain’t mathin !plotting & sheming transpired here but the internet only had access to the footage and reports available online
hospital staff on the other hand, well , they ‘d been present for the entire ordeal.
so perhaps their interviews with detectives could provide insight into one of the internet’s most pressing questions- what happened to the young mother’s placenta?
while doctos feared alexee might have not delivered the placenta as there was no evidence of the temporary organ in the bathroom after the teeanger was rushed to another hospital
it becam apparent the placenta had been passed,online some have theorized that alexee pullled out her placenta or umbilical cord during part of the body cam footage where she appeared to reach under her gown
although others were more inclined to believe, she was checking for the fital fluid she was losing at the time.
so , what was the truth?
it seemed one of the sounds that first alerted the staff to trouble in the facilities might have hinted at where the placenta had disappeared to.
but this doesn’t how the mother detached the umbilical cord that tied the baby to the placenta.
while the protocol in a medical setting is for hospital staff to cut the cord,when a patient gives birth alone in a bathroom all bets are off.
still , the internet believed the gruesome aftermath alexee left on the walls of the bathroom held a clue.
multiple people also said that there was blood splatter ,like spray , all over the walls and they think that was created by the riping of the umbilical cord.
but if this stain was evidence of the force alexee had used to detach her baby from the cord…
… what did the state the umbilical cord was left in say about how alexee had cut into the cord?
filling in the blanks,the internet theorized the ferocious measure the teen might have taken to sever theo cord-using her teeth.
the detective’s interviews with the hospital ‘s emploees, also shed light on the shift dynamic between the mother and daughter after alexee’s pregnancy was revealed
yet alexee’s loss of virginity
according to hosptial staff both mother and daughter displayed a complete disinterest over the the fate of the child.
ven alexee’s family and boyfriend in the waiting room showed a lack of consideration for the baby.
according to an interactiom from the hosptial’s charge nurse.
but according to the charge nurse, no response to the child’s passing rivaled alexee’s.
still one answer remained unclear had the theen known she was pregnent?
it seemed that a peculiar question on of the hospital ‘s nurses recalled alexee asking might have hinted at the truth.
according to the medical professional, alexee had asked whether stopping one medication and starting a new one could lead to complictions
unsure of what she was getting at the nurse asked the teen specify.
alexee said ” well, what would happen if i stopped taking birth control and started taking wight loss medications “
to the nurse, the implication was clear.
but if law enforcement wanted to get any information out of alexee ,first theyäd have to get through her mother .
after all, while the mother seemed to have no problem ventig to those assigned to the case….
her daughter was harder to get hold of …
meaning any and all attempts for law enforcement to contact the teen had to first be approved by alexee’s mother .
but when law enforcement arrived at alexee’s house on may 10th,it wasn’t just a conversation with alexee trevizo they were after.
before they could see her daughter alexee’s mother wanted answers, answers law enforcement had no requirement to give her .
and her persistence paid off…if this was the response she was looking for…..
and tampering with evidence .
which according to the mother’s reaction-it wasn’t.
the autopsy on alexee’s child found he had taken his last breath after the birth
leading the medical examiner to rule the passing as a homicide
the crtiminal complaint filed by law enforcement also statede that alexee had attempted to destroy, change ,hide , place or fabricate physical evidence to wit john doe child with the intent to prevent the apprehension , prosecuiton or conviction,” the complaint added.
so while the mother resisted …in the end there was nothing left to do but co comply with authorities
and hand her daughter over .
but there was one moment from that bodycam footage that might have been otherwise eclipsed by the tense interaction with law enforcement
if a few online sleuths hadn’t pinted it out
it occurred when alexee, who was still losing vidtal fluids at this time re -entered the home to grab menstrual products an errand that now required detectives accompaniment for the teen
as the detective walked through the house footage captured the corner of the fireplace mantela desk with a frame on top
and while the contents of the frame were indistinguishable in the few seconds of the video the name ” alex” and a candle burning beside the frame
had some theorizing this was a shadow box or a shrine for alexee’s child
who according to contents allegedly released by th police department had been renamed alex fierro from the place-holder title of john doe.
a detective also confirmed”baby doe” at the time was cremated and sent to alexee, adding more weigh to the potential ” alex ” shrine.
it was a gesture allthoug one the internet wasn’t touched by
but now that alexee ttrevizo was officially under the supervision of eddie county detention center was justice being served?
or was an innocent high schooler being charged with a crime they hadnt commited?
that’s gary mitchell, alexee trevizo’s attorney who claimes it was’t the teenager or her mother who had mishandled the situation the night of january 27, but those who were meant to take care of her,
according to alexee’s attoreny, the medical professionals at the hospital had supplied alexee with heavy pain killers.
and while thete have been alegations that alexee was told she was pregnant before she rushed to the hospital bathroom….
Gary michtell claimed this wasn’t the case.
” not a single one of the mtold her that she was pregant,not a single one of them told ther that we need to examine you”
and while thsee allegations of malpractice might sound sensational
the detective interview with the triage nurse who was looking after alexee implied they weren’t entirely unfounded
as for what alexee was being accused of doing after she gave birth,accourding to her attorney alexee did the best she could under the circumstances.
and althoug alexee’s mother feared the worst after her daughter was locked up
alexee’s stint behind bars was short- lived as shewas released six days after her arrest on a $100,000 bond
the release caem just before graduation, an event alexee didn’t attend upon the rewuest of her high school.
as a part of her release alexee is required to follow a strict curfew ,attend counseling ,and gain court permission for all out of state travel aside from trips to Texas to see familythat have already been approved
current the teen is not under house arrest or required to wear an ankle monitor and while alexee’s family and legal team wer pleased she was free the wider internet, well …. not so much.
online the teen’s relase was dubbed a disservice to choldren and newborns
and while alexee might have not attended her high school graduation,her boyfriend’s attendance was shared across socials
along with photos of the two allegedly attending prom together just months after the incidient.
some alleged alexee was back to participating on the cheer team allthoug it’s unclear if this video was recent or old.
yet despite the online scrutiny, there was a demograhpic that was noticeable missing from theconversation- alexee’s classmates.
indeed the student body had been surprisingly hush-hush on the subject of alexee trevizo and there was allegedly a reason for that .
the scholl superintendent of the district sent out an email basically saying that if anybody is caught discussing what’s going on that a) the seniors wouldn’t be allowed to graduate , and B) people could get expelled.
that’s why nobody’s talking.
but one user wasn’t sure how well an unofficial gag order would work on teenagers.
and sure enough all it took was a little digging to find social media post from allegedes classmates reacting to alexee’s release…
when the news broke they were calling her BK -baby killer they were mad that she was let out on bail and the girl that shared it she’d be damned if she go to graduation
a livestream from an alleged student that spoke about alexee’s mother
” last night the girl on live said pretty much, her mom had a reputation of being a karen around town ,but i feel like they just don’t want to deal with her mom “
and a comment from au supposed parent of students that explained why the school had requested students to refrain from commenting on alexee’s case.
they were saying that she was getting threats, threats to vandalize her home and they were saying all kinds of things and the school kind of released that as a way to contain the chaos.
and that someone actually went as fat as to say:
” you better not show up to graduation”
whem asked whether alexee’s classmates knew she was pregnant the samee alleged parent responded
” a few students knew , and she was defensive when asked
and that brings us to the underlying issue, while comment’s like these might make thewhole incident sound avoidable,if someone , anyone , had stepped in without hindsight,it’s hard to say what t could have prevented the events of january 27.
but it’s possible a sexual educaitonthat isn”t required to stress abstinence might be one way to prevent something like this from ever happening again.
after all, alexee had options. and if she attended a planned parenthood, she could have found a local clinic for contraceptives or even termination to her pregnancy
if that’s what she wanted
but of cours our views towards intimacy are shaped at home , which makes providing a sfe – space for children to talk to their parents about intercourse all the more important.
yet from alexee’s mother’s reaction to her daughter’s pregnancy, some believe this open dialogue is something the teen wasn’t provided by her mother .
and allthoug there are alreday cries of injustice in the case of alexee’s trevizo. this story is only just developing .
currently alexee’s case is awaiting pre- trial which is chedule for september 11 2023 with the following jury trial schedule for october 2nd
as it stands the theen had pleaded not guilty to charges of first -degree homicide and tampering with evidence.
as for her innocence, well ,that will lie in the hands of the court
mention the name alexee trevizo and you’re bound to receive conflicting opinions when it comes to the teen’s actions in that hospital bathroom on january 27…
any yarying therories on who is ultimately responsible, after all, with details so horrific…it’s hard to not want somebody to blame
