Greg Burchett walked into his Riverside home late Monday to find his 17-month-old son, Garrison, dead in a tragic scene that police are now piecing together.
“I found my baby, and my wife was traumatized,” said Burchett, an assistant biology professor at Riverside City College.
Police arrested Burchett’s wife and the child’s mother, Lori Burchett, 38, a former Mt. San Jacinto College employee.
The toddler suffered blunt force trauma to the head and a puncture wound to the abdomen, a Riverside Police Department news release said. Information about a motive was not released.
Burchett said Tuesday he was immediately concerned about their 3-year-old son, Gregory, and her 15-year-old son, Nick. They were home but unharmed.
“I’ve always been extremely supportive of my wife but I don’t understand what happened,” Burchett said.
Riverside police said officers responded at 11:07 p.m. Monday to the home on Via Terreno in Riverside’s Sycamore Canyon Park neighborhood.
The deceased toddler was found in a bedroom, stated an agency news release. His death marks Riverside’s fifth homicide of 2009. Last year, the city saw a spike up to 20 homicides, the highest in five years.
Lori Burchett is scheduled to make her first court appearance Thursday, according to jail records. She is being held at the Robert Presley Detention Center. Bail has been set at $1 million.
Police remained on the scene Tuesday morning and neighbors said the road was blocked until about 8:30 a.m.
By the afternoon, television trucks dotted the suburban Riverside cul-de-sac lined with large trees and landscaped yards.
Friends went in and out of the red tile roofed home with cream stucco to give Burchett support.
“This is extremely shocking,” Sylvia Thomas said as she left the home. “This is a devastating loss.”
Lori Burchett had worked as the curriculum coordinator for Mt. San Jacinto College from 2003 to 2008. Greg Burchett is the chairman of Riverside City College’s life science division and is an assistant professor of biology, according to representatives of the respective colleges.
Anyone with information may contact detectives Rick Cobb at 951-353-7135 or Rick Wheeler at 951-353-7134.
