Cul de Sac:--- The distraught and grieving mother of murder victim Tiffany Reid said her child's father botched his plans when he burnt himself last Tuesday night as he tried to dispose of his daughter's body. Evelyn Jervis in an exclusive interview with SMN News said her child's father and common law husband Robert Leroy Reid intended to kill her and his daughter before killing himself.Jervis said, Reid called her by phone on the day her daughter went missing and told her he went to see where the man lived that she left him for. "Leroy told me if that is the man I left him for, that man he said is driving a blue jeep and lives in Middle Region. He said someone took him where the man lived. I did not answer him because I don't know anything about any man," Jervis further explained that she later learnt that Reid's friends who lives in Middle Region told him that his daughter Tiffany Reid knows the man her mother left her father for, since they claimed that Tiffany used their phone and called the man last weekend while she was at their house. Jervis said she only learnt about this Sunday night from the neighbors in Dutch Quarter. Jervis said she is of the opinion that Robert Reid probably hit his daughter or held her too strong and she died and to cover up his actions he went to dispose of the body in South Reward since she just moved to Weymouth Hill.
Jervis said Reid put her out two weeks ago and her boss provided her with an apartment for her and her daughter to live, but one day she went to their Dutch Quarter apartment to pick up their daughter and Reid took away the keys from her then grabbed a machete and wanted to chop her to death but their 13 year old daughter jumped between the two of them and fought her father off until he put away the machete. Jervis said just prior to her moving out Reid also hit her a blow on her nose and it bled. She said she filed a complaint with the police on the first occasion and the police reprimanded Reid. Jervis further explained that the evening when Reid tried to chop her, he apparently followed her as she drove to her new residence in Weymouth Hill.
On the day her daughter disappeared Jervis said she dropped her daughter to school that morning and at about 3:30pm Reid called her and told her that her daughter did not attend afternoon class because she was not feeling well. She said it was not long after that call that Reid told her about the man she left him for. Later that afternoon, she said she called Reid and told him to send the child by bus to Philipsburg since she and her daughter needed to do some shopping on Back Street. Jervis said she was supposed to meet her daughter by SZB, but her daughter never showed up. Reid she said was in contact with her by phone and at one point he told her he left Dutch Quarter and was going to Cul de Sac. Jervis said she even got annoyed with Reid because their daughter went missing and instead of him going to meet her so they could look for her, he said he went to Cul de Sac and the next call she received was when he told her he got burnt with the bus radiator in Dutch Quarter.
Jervis said she asked the neighbors who called the ambulance for Reid if they saw him repairing the bus, or if they saw the bus hood open when he made the alarm that he was burnt, but the neighbors she said told her they saw him to the side of the bus rubbing the burns and they had to insist that he go to the hospital.
Jervis said Reid is the one who killed her daughter because police found one side of his slippers on the scene where her daughter's body was found. "I know the type of slippers he wears and when he was at the hospital I saw him with one side of his slippers and the other side was Tiffany's slippers but Reid disposed of the slippers he was wearing because he went to the police station without shoes," Jervis said Reid never told the neighbors that his daughter was missing, "the only the thing he told the neighbors that he got burnt from the radiator and the neighbors insisted that he go the hospital."
Jervis also confirmed that Reid faked a robbery some weeks ago and stole several items belonging to her. She said Reid also stole his daughter's phone so at the time she went missing, her daughter did not have a phone. Reid she said does have a temper but prior to the recent incidents she did not think he was capable of killing anyone. Jervis said Reid wanted her to pay the electricity bills and that was one of the reasons they fought.
