COGGON - Skylar Inman's cause of death was due to non-accidental multiple blunt force injuries, according to the Linn County Sheriff's Office.
Authorities also say they are not releasing the 911 call due to the ongoing investigation.
Linn County authorities says a 23-year old Coggon man killed a two-year old child he was living with.
The alleged murder happened back on July 11th. Someone at two-year old Skylar Inman's home called 911 after the little girl stopped breathing and became unresponsive. She was taken to St. Luke's Hospital in Cedar Rapids where she later died.
Police arrested Lee James Muldoon on Tuesday for first degree murder and child endangerment causing death, two months after it all happened.
The sheriff's office says Muldoon is not her father.
Muldoon is being held for Linn County at the Jones County jail without bond and scheduled to appear in a Jones County courtroom Wednesday morning for his initial hearing on those charges.
No one answered the door at the family's home on Tuesday, but TV9 did talk to several family members. Everyone declined to comment. Neighbors did say that Muldoon was a nice person who kept to himself.
Iowa court records online show Muldoon has a long rap sheet. His past crimes include assaults and it shows he went to a state juvenile facility as a teenager.

should rot in hell for the things you are putting the family through. I'm not just talking about the bri-but the aunts, grandparents, great granparents. Skylar was an angel and she was the light in the storm clouds, and everyone knew that. how dare you make assumptions. Bri loves Skylar-and so does the biological father, even if he wasn't the best father in the world. he cared. and did you ever think of the people you are hurting passing judgement...F**K YOU!

I know for a fact that at least two weeks befor this angels death the mother was told that she had strange bruises on her body!And she did absolutely nothing to help this baby!So I have an idea lets just charge him and let the so called mom go free so she can have another baby,get with the wrong guy,that baby end up dead,but in the meantime we can play pass the baby around to anyone that will take it for a while because mom doesn't want to be a mom.

It is shcking to me that someone out there would write something on this page titled FROM SKYLAR IN HEAVEN. This little girl went throught enough and now someone is using her name to voice their own thoughts. How SAD that seem to be. Was she abused and now is she being use? Someone needs to show her a little respect, and stop

i see a lot of comments about skylar's mom, grandparents and the mom's boyfriend. why isn't anyone asking about the biological father? doesn't he have some responsibility to insure that his child is well cared for? parental responsibility does not stop when the condom breaks.

Rest in peace baby girl!!!

I am an old friend of Skylar's grandma. Until any of you have walked a mile in this family's shoes, KEEP YOUR OPINIONS TO YOURSELF!!! Let this little girl rest in peace and allow the family to mourn without the disrespect and hurtful comments that may or may not be unfounded. Unless you were there, you don't know and are not able to provide an educated account of what happened to this little girl. Let it be....

I was at the bar the night of the BENEFIT for Skylar, it was not a celebration. I'm sick of people writing on here like they know anyone related to the family. They loved that little girl to pieces, I've seen the way Bri was with Skylar and she would never once layed her hand on that little girl or did she ever put her in danger. Yes she was crying at the benefit are you blind? She left a good 4 times out back where her family and friends comforted her.

She can't sleep at night and I am worried about what all of this is doing to her and my unborn baby brother or sister. Please leave her alone, she did not do anything to me but give me life and love. The person that hurt me, knows what he did and God will take care of him, not you. Hugs and kisses to you mommy, I miss you. :-)

Skylar 2 1/2 years, a good life, until Bri met Lee, then that is when everything started happening. We haven't heard of anything else prior to Lee have we? Any DHS reports out there, don't think so. SO, shut up, it is obvious who did this to Skylar. A 2 1/2 yr old child doesn't just die for no reason. Wake up people! If Bri is guilty of anything, it is being young and nieve and picking the wrong guy, so I guess she falls into the category with thousands of other teenage girls out there!

So what that Lee bought a new ac unit for his house. And so what that he worked the weekend before he was getting questioned by the sheriff's dept. And so what that he quit smoking. Hurray for him, that is what being an adult is all about! That doesn't mean he didn't do it. And so what that he took Bri and Skylar into his home. Maybe he thought he could handle it and then once he had them all under one roof, he couldn't handle being a parent.

I returned to live in the same small town I grew up in. If I had a dollar for every kid I've seen in the bar after 10pm I'd buy it and change the rules! A bar environment is no place for a child anytime of day/night. Little ones sleeping in the booth while Mommy gets trashed or Daddy gets hammered happens all to often. Is it any wonder that by 14 they are hanging out there as well and by 18 have adopted the drinking and sexual habits they have seen? I'm not knocking bars, just bringing the kids.

I am not from Ely but spend a lot time there. What I witnessed was a lot of "celebration" after Skylar's death. Her mother was at bonfires every night and who has a benefit for the death of a child in a bar? I am in Ely multiple times a week and any time I saw Skylar, she wasn't with her mother, she was with everyone BUT. Nothing against her family but I can't say that I ever witnessed Bri being a good mom.RIP Skylar.

It is none of your business who has children unless you have to pay for them. I am a single mother and I am very proud of what I have accomplished. Not all single mothers bring bad boyfriends in the home. Get off your high horse and mind your own business. There are a TON of really good single parent homes. Pray for the little girl and don't bash hard working parents.

Notice the criminals are supporting Lee and Bri. Poor family upbringing, poor family ethics and no positive support. Bri is on her 3rd child from a 3rd man. Her uncle is in prison for child molestation. As for the grandparents, Mark and Lori what kind of circle are they running around with to condone them having their 10 year old in a bar after 10pm and longer. They are close friends with elyfireman aron and his family and the owner of that bar is a fireman too. dhs should take a better look.

For those of you who say Bri showed no emotion at the visitation either you are delusional or are lying through your teeth for no good reason.I was there I held Bri while she sobbed in my arms. If you must comment at least tell the truth.I spent alot of time with her at the visitation and she was very emotional.and days and weeks following You have no idea how many times she came to me and cried like a baby so unless you know what you are talking about you should probably keep your mouths shut!

Anyone of you so called friends who say they knew Skylar was being abused should be in jail too.I know Bri. As a matter of fact we are very close..She is like a daughter to me..I wasn't in the house that night so I will not pretend to know what hapened and for you all to sit here and act like you do is disgusting..Bri loved Skylar and she loved Lee.CAn you even begin to imagine what she is going through right now for God's sake have a little compassion for what she is feeling

I am just dumbfounded at the number of people who believe Lee is a "good" person or not a "bad" person. Just what are you using to measure if he is a "good or bad" person. A good person provides sure...a good person can also have a BAD temper and do BAD things. Open your eyes!!!

One time I was at the local bar and wittnessed Bri's parents accuse someone of stealing Bri's little sister's scooter. Why was she even at the bar with her scooter late night? They are all crazy. There really should be an application to have children in the first place!

If Lee knew he did somthing wrong, why did he pay for a new a.c. for his house last week when he knew bout the upcoming questioning, there are alot of unanswered questions, I know I am a good friend to Lee, still don't know what happend in the house that night but I seen him right after he got out of that house at the hospital, a man can not pretend that kind of devistation. No body knows the facts so let up remember innocent till proven guilty.

I have 2.5yr old and there is NOWAY that Skylar could have been beat to death without Bri knowing. 2.5yr olds are smart, loud and in small ways defend themselves. The evidence already shows it was blunt force trama that killed her. That is not pre-judgement-it's proof. I know Bri, she only is a product of her environment. Her parents repeatedly allow Bri's little sister to hang out with them in the bar til close not exactly a place for a 10yr old. It just goes to show what kind of parents they r

Lee did not have to work that last weekend before he got booked, If Lee did not care about Sklar why did he quit smoking after he found out she had asma, One of the first guys I know that quit cold turky because of the love of a child. He offered his home and gave them a good place to live, He put food on the table for them, If he was guilty without a doubt it would not have taken the police 2 months to make a arrest. Do I know what happend in the house that night none of us do,

girlfriend's child. He better make it look good. People like him know how to hide the bad things they are doing and they are controlling. Lee knows what he did and he will pay for it. Leave the grandparents alone, they loved that girl. Just b/c Mark is on the fire dept doesn't mean he knew what was going on either. We are forgetting about Skylar's biological father and his family, I am sure they are hurting too. Even though he wasn't in Syklar's life, at least he didn't hurt her!!
Thursday, Sep 11 at 9:13 PM Here is some facts wrote ...
To those that want some facts, Lee is 23 years old and was not a baad person, he had a full time job and worked with alot of people and never once shown temper, When Lee first met Bri he knew about Skylar and was excited to be the good dad. He worked with the police and answered all their questions all the way through. He knew about the questioning on Tuesdy was coming up, if he was guilty he would have ran, If he was worried bout the questioning he would not have worked the weekend before

I can't believe someone actually said, "If this man wnted this child dead why would he do CPR on the child for 30 minutes till the EMTs got there." DUH-of course he is going to cover up what he did! I was at the funeral and the wake and everyone was just devastated. Then there was Lee, just strutting around crying at the right time. What a piece of trash. First time I met him and I knew he was bad news. Of course he is going to go to his unborn child's ultrasound. After the death of his (cont'd)

so to whoever the "11:35 the facts" person is where are you getting your information? what family member did skyler tell that she was getting hit? if you have information like this that instead of posting it on here you either need to tell the authorities or someone that can do something about it my email address is texas_mommy_2007@hotmail.com if you wish to disclose this information out of a forum. you guys are posting all of this stuff on here and if you want validation for this childs.....

If so many of you know Bri and knew what was supposedly going on, (drinking while pregnant or that she claimed Skylar had bruises on her but didn't want to take her to the doc b/c DHS would get involved), then why didn't you call DHS and turn her in or say something to her as she is drinking at the bar prego. Can't say anything? I have many of times told her she needed to quit smoking but never witnessed the other. As far as Lee goes, he has got his friends and family blinded!

Had we known about this sooner I would have, as it is hearing the details after the fact is tearing my heart in two and making me ill. I have always been an advocate for children, as a parent and responsable adult I CANNOT idly sit by and witness violance to a child. And yes, in the past I have taken a beating or two in order to protect a child. If the police want to talk with me, thats fine. We all miss Skylar, she was a ray of sunshine in a dark world.

She was pregnant at 15 and had Skyler at 16, has had an abortion since then with another man who did not want children, and is now pregnant again with Lee's child. So that makes three men in her life that have gotten her pregnant. Nice environment for a child.

grieving freind, I am sorry, but I have to say that it was a poor judgement on your end to know that this was going on and not report to anyone like DHS. You really shouldnt be placing blame on either of them if you are doing the same. If you notice stuff like that, report it. The child cant, that is why she ended up being the victim..... Anyone who hurts a child is a coward and doesnt deserve to live on this earth. Because apparently he didnt think a 2 year old did. JERK!!!!!!

How can you say "I have known him for years and he could never harm anyone" I think alot of people that do bad things can have someone say that about them at one point or another...look at people that have killed their entire family....something, somewhere changes in that person...cause they always show past pictures of the those people smiling and loving the family. He is just as capable of doing it as he is of not doing it.

You have a long record too cousin? Wow, and tell me, are you a babysitter, I hope not. I am pretty sure that most americans dont have assault on their record. And trust me, if they did, I think it should be a law that they never have the ability to look over a child. I may not know the facts, but when they say the child died of multiple blows to the head, I am sure it wasnt an accident. It will be funny if we hear that he was beat to death with an inmates blunt object. (If you know what I mean)

I bet I know how it happened, I bet the child fell on the blunt object like numerous times right? Just looking at that Pr*** makes me want to punch him in the face.
Thursday, Sep 11 at 2:36 PM Aurthor Spooner wrote ...
To all you that say he was not capable of doing it then tell me, what happened? This loser has assault on his record and seems to have a short temper which would explain what probably happened. The little girl wanted something or needed something and wouldnt stop crying or bothering him about it, so he lost his temper and beat her to death. And by the way cousin, maybe they should keep an eye on you. My record doesnt have anything remotely close to him.

The family knew about a large bruise on Skylar a motnth before she died. Bri did not take her to the doctor's office, she "did not want DHS involved". Then lied to the family later and said her doctor looked at Skylar, and said she had the flu. Skylar was ill on and off for about a month, throwing up. I'm sorry, Bri, you let this happen, you did not protect your little Angel. The family is covering up at this point! LEE hurt her, Bri did nothing to protect her.

I was a single parent for 10 years and I would NEVER have ignored bruises or hearing of someone hurting my child. For those of you thinking it is because she is a single parent..get real. Stop the stereotypes. This young lady either ignored the signs, knew of the abuse, or was part of the abuse. Truly sad. I do not know all of the facts of the case. And I am sure that most that commented on here do not as well. RIP Sklar

Regardless of what people think, the police did/are doing a thorough investigation. Why would they arrest someone if they didn't have the evidence to pursue a case? The coroner can tell the difference between trauma caused by CPR, or abuse. I pray for this family (grandparents, aunts, uncles, etc) & what they are going through. May God find a way to get you all through this.

Yes, I was at the funeral and the wake and the "BAR" (nice place for a reception for the loss of a little girl)! I got a really good look at Bri and Lee....they didnt show any emotion at the funeral, wake, or benefit. In fact the benefit was one big drunk fest...Lee and Bri killed this little girl. As far as the facts go...having a close connection to the family I know the facts. Bri never wanted a baby and this is why mark and lori and everyone else BUT bri took care of her.

So I spent approx 30 minutes reading everyones comments...as much as many of you dont want to hear what people have to say...most os these comments are correct. Lee put his hands on Skylar for quite a few weeks prior to her death, and so did Bri. Unfortunately I was not made aware of this until speaking with a family member who quoted this from Skylar herself. Skylar said this approx 1 week before her death...7 days. The situation with Bri as a mother...she never wanted a child at her age.

I fully agree with 9:49 PM Parent just because you "want" a child doesn't mean you're ready. I wanted a pony when I was 8. Just because we lived in an apartment shouldn't mean I couldn't have my very own cuddly pony to love. I would have taken care of her and loved her and put ribbons in her mane...and when the novelty wore off, someone would have taken care of it. Just like many young mothers. Being pregnant/having infant gets attention, but when the baby isn't fun..mommy looses interest too.

Maybe the lighting in the bar was poor, but I don't know anyone who saw tears or mourning on the faces of this mother and her "man"friend (Muldoon) in the days following the little girl's death. What most people saw was a pathetic attempt to garner attention and sympathy. The whole scene was so inapppropriate and the feeling was that something was wrong from the beginning.

I had dated Lee for a period of time and he was the type of person you would want to be with and have a family with he didnt have a temper or ever show one no matter what happened. I just cannot believe this situation.I feel really bad for his/her family you have my sympathy, but as for his arrest this has been going on for two months and they wouldnt have done it if they didnt have hard evidence against him, I am still in disbelief. Skylar called him dad and that SO cute and there were cute...

They never mean to "intentionally" hurt a child. He has a history of assualt. What makes you all think he couldn't be capable of assualt again? I've seen it first hand with other men who are not the father of a child...reach out a bop a kid in the head for stupid stuff. Can't believe there are so many defending him. Let it play out in court. I think MOMS should be held accountable for their behavior as well.

I wondered how long it would take for the public to find out that the maternal grandfather is on the Ely Fire Dept. PLEASE do not lump this group of fine people with this man, or for that matter, with the rest of this family. The mother of this little girl was only 16 when she had her, which is sad. Most 16-year-olds aren't equipped to raise a child, with or without family help. And please, don't tell me about the tears or hurt in her eyes or this so-called "man's" eyes.

To "Old Friend"....FYI: Children who are raised in a loving TWO parent and MARRIED household are more likely to become a responsible adult. Just because you WANT and are "ready" for a child doesn't mean you should go ahead and have one. That is selfish thinking. A child needs a good stable home where the parents can teach them good morals. A teen mother is already off to a bad start let alone one that is living with some other guy. Yes, I say WAIT for marriage, then have kids.

Help me out here. If she had Skylar at 14yo, then she is now 16? Living with a 23yo? Okay... That might explain how she didn't know what was happening to Skylar, she is still a child herself. She wouldn't know about caring for a baby/toddler. She evidently doesn't really know how to take care of herself. Most girls that age are into hair, make-up, clothes, and boys, NOT caring for a child. The good Lord will handle this, it's not for us to decide. Grace and forgiveness is ours for the asking.

Who seen the reation of the man that was charged when they announced the death? I did and nobody could pretend to have the dramtic face on Lee's face. There is more to the story, If this man wnted this child dead why would he do CPR on the child for 30 minutes till the EMTs got there. Lee is a good man I've known him for two years and never seen a temper, a couple of weeks ago he wentto an ultrasound for his new baby, He loved Skyler and would never raise a finger to her.

I think if Bri knew anything was happening she wouldn't have let Lee come around anymore. She loved Skylar more than anything. RIP Skylar <3

If anyone would lay a hand on my son they would never have a second opportunity. Those guilty will be judged by God. There guilt will haunt them forever.

The mother of the child is not guilty for the actions of the murderer. All of us have the right to be angry when an innocent child is killed, but each of us is also responsible for the things we say, even "anonymously." Revealing information about the case may make you feel powerful or justified, but it is idle gossip, not help. Our community has the capacity to love and care for all victims of violence.

To Anonymous at 8:33 AM, you are absolutely correct. Skylar was not being well taken care of. This investigation has been ongoing since Skylar's death nearly 2 months ago and Bri (Skylar's mother) is still dating Lee. Sources state that Skylar didn't like Lee and Lee felt that since Bri was pregnant he wanted to have a family with just her, obviously Skylar was in the way. Bri did not take very good care of this little girl. In no way is she innocent, if anything she was aware of the situation

Every time this mother left this precious baby home with Lee she would get new bruises. The mother just ignored it.

Depending on what the cause of death is will determine if there is anyone else at fault. With that being said, if the charge is abuse where was the mother and why isn't she being charged as well? How can we let these mothers get away with letting these men abuse the children. Perfect example is Jetsetta Gage's mother.. she knew that she was being sexually abused but still let his brother come around and then his brother ended up killing her... Why isn't she right there with him?
