Teigan Amiah Peters

March 25, 2006 - June 22, 2009

Teigan Amiah Peters was born to Ryan Peters and Tisha Brown. Teigan's parents had separated in 2007, but, according to Tisha, Ryan Peters had been harassing her for a very long time. There was a great amount of tension between Tisha, Ryan, and Tisha's boyfriend.

On Father's day in 2009, Ryan's family became very worried when they couldn't contact Ryan. They were so worried, that they called the police. Ryan's family believed that since the divorce with Tisha, and the fact that he had lost custody of his daughter, Ryan had become suicidal. Ryan lost custody when Tisha filed a complaint that Ryan did not return Teigan at the time he was supposed to.

By June 21, it was known that Ryan was with Teigan, and that he had picked her up from her daycare, even though Tisha was supposed to. It was also believed that the two went camping. The police were having a difficult time locating Ryan and Teigan. The next day, a member of Ryan's family says that he has talked to Ryan, and knows an approximate location of where Ryan and Teigan probably are based on what Ryan had told him. 

Later that day, after speaking with the member of Ryan's family, the police discovered two bodies at a camp site. One was an adult male, and the other was a female child, both had been shot. The bodies were soon identified as Ryan and Teigan Peters. It was discovered that Ryan had shot Teigan, and them himself.
