A judge in Lafayette, Indiana handed down a 92-year sentence to 29-year-old Eliasard Moneus on Tuesday July, 1st .
The sentence was in connection to the August 2024 shocking passing of 3-month-old, Jacob Moneus.
In August of 2024, Eliasard's wife was sitting at home watching television with Jacob when Eliasard entered the room and took her baby son away from her.
He then left the home with Jacob only to return around 30 minutes later to carry out a vicious attack on his wife with "either a tire iron or a wrench", officials have stated.
His wife went to the hospital for treatment of her injuries and police responded to the hospital. Officers quickly determined baby Jacob was unaccounted for; a Silver Alert was issued as police at that time believed Jacob to be in extreme danger.
Sadly, the very next day the search for Jacob came to a heartbreaking conclusion as officers searched the couple's apartment for the second time.
Jacob was found deceased and fully submerged in a bucket of undiluted laundry detergent with the lid completely sealed. Officers were shocked and completely taken aback by the discovery on scene.
Due to Eliasard taking a plea deal in the homicide of Jacob, additional charges of domestic battery, aggravated battery and criminal confinement were dropped.
Our thoughts are with baby Jacob and all who loved him, especially his mother who did recover from her injuries but will surely carry scars for a lifetime. May she know peace sooner than later.
