Baby Petyon was born in February 2024.
Davis told the outlet she never had the chance to hug or see her granddaughter in person.
“It hurts us a lot not to be able to hug her, not to be able to give her the love that we share for her,” said the devastated grandmother.
According to Davis, Peyton’s mother used to video call her granddaughter so she could see her, but those calls would end abruptly.
She received the heartbreaking news from the Abilene Police Department that baby Peyton was dead.
Kennedy and Schultz are being held in the Taylor County Jail with bail set at $510,000 for him and $350,000 for Kennedy.
