The same Thursday night Patricia Ripley, married and mother of another son, reported that Alejandro had been kidnapped by two black men.
The news of the kidnapping caused shock in public opinion in Miami for being a child and also with autism and unable to speak.
The case took an unexpected turn this Saturday with the news of the arrest of Alejandro Ripley’s mother, whom people who knew him described in statements to the press with adjectives as “happy” and “sweet”.
Patricia Ripley, 45, is being held without bail at Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center and faces charges of first-degree murder and premeditated attempted murder.
She told the detectives who questioned her that Alejandro was now “in a better place,” according to the media.
The boy’s body was found last Friday, a day after his murder, in a lake located on the golf course near the place where, according to Patricia Ripley, the kidnapping occurred.

The sinister plan
Alejandro’s mother denounced on Thursday night that the boy had been kidnapped by two black men who followed her and her son in a car while they were driving in their vehicle through an area of southwest Miami.
At one point, according to her account with the police, the other car forced her to turn abruptly onto a street and blocked her vehicle in front of the parking lot of a home and DIY supplies business.
One of the occupants of the other car got out and asked for drugs and when she told him that she didn’t have any, he hit her, took the boy and her cell phone and left.
Local media said that the police became suspicious of Alejandro’s mother when he verified through the security cameras of the home materials business that instead of calling immediately after the alleged kidnapping, he spent time in the parking lot of the premises in his car .
As soon as the complaint was made, the Police activated an “amber alert”, with which a rapid response mechanism is known in the event of child abductions and asked for the collaboration of the citizenry to find the child.
The police had asked whoever came to see or knew the kidnappers not to approach them and simply to call a special phone line opened for this case.
