Family Mourning Death of Toddler

Brandon Gurley's ex-wife Jessica says there is no excuse for what happened to 3-year-old Christian Foster, after authorities say a fire at the Orleans Place Apartments, claimed the child's life. "There's not reason for it at all...I'm very disgusted with her, "Said Jessica Gurley. That's how Gurley feels about the child's mother Elizabeth Foster. Investigators say Foster left her 3-year-old son Christian at the apartment alone, while locked in a bedroom. "It's not fair that a 3-year-old lost their life because his mother's a bad parent,"Said Amanda Stapleton, a close friend of Brandon. Police say while Brandon Gurley wasn't home, his actions also resulted in the child's death. Jessica says she loved Christian like her own son Connor. "I still look at him as my step son and that's Connor's brother and he's not gonna know what to think of this and I don't know what I'm gonna tell him, "Said Jessica Gurley.
Brandon and Elizabeth were both arrested Friday on manslaughter charges. Brandon Gurley remains behind bars at Metro Jail. Both Foster and Gurley are scheduled to be in court tomorrow morning. We tried but were not able to get in contact with Foster's family to talk about this story tonight.
