Chilling text messages surface after man throws son off bridge

You tried to take him away from me. You failed. I didn’t.

Chilling text messages between a mother and her ex-boyfriend, Tony Moreno, who threw their son off a bridge before attempting suicide have surfaced, showing the parents’ conversation just after Moreno threw his child into the Connecticut river.

Text messages Moreno sent, which were revealed by Fox CT include lines such as “Enjoy your life without us now” to which his ex-girlfriend, Adrianne Oyola, replies “Where are you?!”

“Tony I’m trying to make this co parent thing work!”

“Your[sic] not a parent anymore,” replies Moreno.

Moreno has since been charged with the murder of his seven-month-old son, Aaden, with police placing a $2 million bail against the 22-year-old.

Aaden’s body was found by a kayaker at around 6:30pm on Tuesday, almost 48 hours after the search began.

Moreno eventually confessed to committing the crime from his hospital bed, where he remains suffering facial bruising.

Authorities who arrived on the scene as Moreno jumped from the Arrigoni Bridge couldn’t see a baby in his arms.

It has since been revealed Moreno threw baby Aaden into the water first.

Weeks before the tragedy Oyola applied for a restraining order, and moved out of the house she was living in with Moreno and his parents.

The Harford Courant uncovered the documents revealing Oyola feared for her life, as well as her son’s.

“He has told me he could make my son disappear any time of the day,” she wrote in the application.

“He told me how he could make me disappear, told me how he could kill me.

“I feel that he is a danger to my child and me and would like to leave with my child and get full custody.”

A temporary restraining order was granted on June 17 until a judge denied a permanent restraining order at the court hearing on June 29.

On Sunday, just before midnight, Moreno’s family called Middletown police immediately after Moreno called them, threatening to jump.

The sound of a baby crying could be heard in the background.

Here is the entire text message conversation between Moreno and ex-girlfriend, Adrianne Oyola.
