16 Pounds At 5 Years Old_ The Sickening Case of Cali Anderson

When a storage unit owner in Sacramento reported a foul smell, police discovered the decomposed body of five-year-old Cali Anderson inside a duffel bag, weighing just 16 pounds [citation:1][citation:2]. The investigation revealed a nightmare of abuse at the hands of her stepmother, Averyauna Enoch, who kept Cali handcuffed in a dog crate in the bathroom and starved her over several years [citation:3][citation:5]. Her father, Tyler Anderson, did nothing to protect her [citation:5]. Enoch was convicted of first-degree murder and sentenced to life with parole [citation:2].
