The search for 2-year-old Taylen Mosley ended in tragedy Friday evening as the St. Petersburg police chief said they found the toddler dead. Chief Anthony Holloway said the investigation brought search crews near Dell Holmes Park — about 13 miles from the child's mother's apartment — where they found the child's body inside the jaws of an alligator in Lake Maggiore. At this time, the child's father, 21-year-old Thomas Mosley, has been charged with two counts of first-degree murder, Holloway said during the news conference. "We are sorry it had to end this way," Holloway said. The chief said the 2-year-old's body was intact, however, officers killed the alligator. The exact cause of the child's death will be determined following an official autopsy. The investigation is ongoing.
