Austin Contreras died on June 15, 2010 due to blunt trauma to the stomach. His mother was arrested on June 18 at the funeral home Austin was at before the funeral.
Reyna 27-years-old at the time of her arrest was escorted out of the Zavala Family Funeral Home and taken to a La Villa courtroom to be charged with the murder of her son Austin a 2-year-old.
Her boyfriend Adan Acuna was arrested and released on bond for the murder of the toddler.
The local media reported La Villa Chief of Police Eloy Cardenas describing Sandra Reyna as stone cold with a attitude that resembled day and night. Before Reyna’s arrest she was also reported to be a flight risk or having fled to Mexico.
Much has been said and reported on Sandra Reyna since her son’s death. She could have a defamation lawsuit for being called stone cold that is most of the time used for labeling killers as suggested by Cardenas. His comments my not have been malicious but as a leader in the community his prospective counts and is believable. The problem is it may not have been fair in saying Reyna was stone cold in the courtroom because on the day of her arrest she was reported that police offices struggled to hold her up as she cried out of her son’s funeral arrangements and time of mourning.
“He accidentally killed himself or he did it (Adan Acuna), as for my daughter I just cannot believe that, I can’t believe that she did it,” said Debbie Brennan, Sandra Reyna’s mother. “There is really no proof of them doing, either one, the only people that know is him [Adan Acnuna] and my daughter.”
