Josh Cascio reports
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. - Court records show a 20-year-old mother was stabbed more than 100 times last Wednesday in her St. Petersburg apartment.
It was a vicious and brutal attack, and St. Pete police said it all unfolded after Pashun Jeffrey and her family celebrated Thomas Mosley's 21st birthday at that same apartment.
Mosley, the father of 2-year-old Taylen Mosley, is now charged with two counts of first-degree murder for Pashun and Taylen's deaths. He was booked into the Pinellas County Jail Monday afternoon after he was released from the hospital.

According to the St. Pete Police Department, the 2-year-old's body was found in the mouth of an alligator Friday evening. Taylen was the subject of an Amber Alert that was issued last Thursday after a welfare check found that his mother had been stabbed to death.
Records show Pashun's cell phone was taken to the Lake Maggiore area of St. Pete around 8:42 p.m. Wednesday. Investigators say Thomas Mosley showed up to his mother's house 20 minutes later with cuts all over his hands and arms. It's injuries that police say "are consistent with slippage during a knife attack."
The tragic case has garnered national attention and raised tens of thousands of dollars for the family's fundraiser.
