"The postmortem is saying that she also has a dent in her head. It looks like she got hit with a heavy equipment or something."

"When we called the police Saturday she told the police that ____ gave her the poison. We didn't know she had a knock in her head until after the postmortem said it."

Estela Polanco also claims that before her daughter was killed she had filed a report against persons who she believed contributed to her death. Polanco leaves behind two children, a boy and a girl.
