Mother, boyfriend get prison in death of 9-year-old girl whose body was found in duffel bag

LOS ANGELES — Three years after Trinity Love Jones’ body was found in a duffel bag along a hiking trail in Hacienda Heights, her mother and her boyfriend have been sentenced to prison in the girl’s death.

Trinity was 9 years old in March 2019 when she was killed and her body was dumped along an equestrian trail in Hacienda Heights near the Pomona Freeway. The girl’s frail 55-pound body was scarred from head to toe, and a medical examiner’s report detailed she was beaten, starved and had an infection on her feet that made it hard for her to wear shoes.

For days, investigators circulated a sketch of the mystery girl, whose unidentified body haunted the region.
