NEWS RELEASE

February 23, 2023

Scioto County Sheriff David Thoroughman states that Detective Jodi Conkel, who is part of the

Scioto County Prosecutor’s Special Victim Unit, received a call on Monday, February 20, 2023

from the Portsmouth Police Department. They advised Detective Conkel that they were contacted

by a social worker from Nationwide Children’s Hospital about a possible child abuse case.


The social worker from Nationwide Children’s Hospital advised that they had five-week-old twins

in their trauma unit which were transferred from Southern Ohio Medical Center. Scioto County

Sheriff’s Office Detectives responded to Nationwide Children’s Hospital where they were able to

meet and talk with the child abuse trauma team of doctors providing treatment to the twins.


Detectives were advised that one of the twins were taken to Southern Ohio Medical Center for a

possible broken arm. The hospital staff observed what appeared to be hemorrhages in both of the

twin’s eyes. This injury resulted in both babies being transferred to children’s hospital.


Detectives learned of multiple non-accidental injuries to both babies. These injuries include eye

hemorrhages, multiple broken bones in their legs and arms, multiple rib fractures, abrasions to the

face to include a black eye and bruising. As a result of these injuries Scioto County Children

Services were notified and responded to Children’s Hospital and removed custody from the parents.


Sheriff Thoroughman stated detectives spoke with family members and witnesses. Afterwards the

parents of the twins were brought to the Sheriff’s Office on Wednesday, February 22, 2023 for

interviews. Both parents were charged for the injuries to these babies.


Arrested was Codi Alexander Ronald Allen, age 20, and SueAnn Carter, age 27, both of 1826

Kendall Ave. Apt. F Portsmouth, Ohio. Both have been charged with 2 counts of Felonious Assault,

a felony of the 2nd degree, 4 counts of Endangering Children, a felony of the 2nd degree, and 4 counts of Endangering Children, a felony of the 3rd degree. Both are being held on a $340,000.00 bond and appeared in Portsmouth Municipal Court on Thursday, February 23, 2023.


Sheriff Thoroughman stated the Scioto County Prosecutor’s Office Special Victim’s Unit is made

up of deputies from the Scioto County Sheriff’s Office and officers of the Portsmouth Police

Department, which work jointly to investigate crimes against our most vulnerable victims.


This is still an ongoing investigation and anyone with information should contact Detective

Sergeant Jodi Conkel @ 740-351-1091

The detail about the eye hemorrhages being the initial red flag that led to the full free solar return chart interpretation investigation really sticks with me. It's chilling how something so specific can reveal such a broader pattern of harm. I can't even imagine pokemon this or that what those babies went through, astro tranits chart but it's a relief the hospital staff was so attentive to those subtle signs.

This is so tragic – no words for the pain those babies must have endured. Hoping they make a full recovery. On a lighter note, we recently used the rv loan calculator (https://lumocalculator.com/finance/rv-loan-calculator) to plan our family trip, and it made budgeting so much easier.

The five-week-old twins were rushed from Southern Ohio Medical Center to Nationwide Children's Hospital with hemorrhages and a possible broken arm, which is deeply disturbing. It's hard to comprehend the cruelty involved in harming such vulnerable infants. Law enforcement often uses various technologies to process evidence, and an ai vocal remover could be one of those tools for cleaning up audio recordings when relevant. This case relies more on medical testimony, but forensic innovation continues to evolve.

It's heartbreaking to learn that the five-week-old twins were admitted with hemorrhages and a possible broken arm. When working with video evidence from hospital or police recordings, I've found it helpful to use an srt to vtt converter for consistent formatting across different platforms. I hope the investigation leads to justice for these vulnerable infants.
