Teen Vows to Continue Lawsuit Against Erika Despite Father’s Suicide
The child, who turns 18 next week, has vowed to keep the lawsuit alive and seek justice from Erika, despite Christopher’s suicide.
Scholtes took his own life Tuesday night.
He was scheduled to report to prison the following morning, after agreeing to a plea deal for the death of two-year-old Parker, who was trapped in the car as temperatures climbed as high as 109-degrees.
The teen, who has a two-year-old toddler of her own, lived with a guardian away from her dad, after her biological mother died last year.
The guardian, Lindsay Eisenberg, said when she told the girl her father had killed himself, she was emotionless.
“She said, ‘I knew he was going to do this, I knew he was going to commit suicide’. Then she asked if her sisters were OK,” Eisenberg told the Daily Mail.
