(LifeSiteNews) – The broken, lifeless body of a young boy was found bound with duct tape and stuffed in a closet at the home his mother shared with two “transgender” males.  

The murdered boy, 7-year-old William Evans-Ellis, was reportedly being groomed to become “transgender” by the adults in the home. 


According to law enforcement, the boy’s body showed evidence that he was brutally tortured and beaten for two months. 

Three people are charged with murder and child endangerment in his death and are each being held on $1.1 million bond: his biological mother, Kaitlin Evans, 38, and “co-parents” Nathan “Kirby” Rankin, 33, and Adamhnán Judaydon Caoilte Lugh “Nessa” Keane, 23.  

Earliest reports of the horrific murder had described all three adults as women.

“I’ve had 21 years of law enforcement experience. This was probably one of the most disturbing examples of child abuse I’ve witnessed in my career,” Detective Kyle Smith of the Cincinnati Police Department testified in court. 

“We believe the victim was choked under water, held under water for long periods of time,” Smith said. “There was some burn torture involved.” 

“We always say we expect the worst, and sometimes, we get it,” Hamilton County coroner Lakshmi Sammarco said during a press conference.  


“I opened the closet door and just froze for a while.”

“Bones were separated,” she added.

The boy’s father was estranged from the boy’s mother and had been deprived of visits with his son for the past nine months. He too is a female-identifying male.  

Fox News reported that grandparents Mike and Tina Evans said William, who spent Fridays and many Saturdays with them, told them about six weeks before his death that he did not want to return home. 

The grandparents told WLWT their grandson’s home had become a “house of horrors.”
