GBI Stated that Miss Donalsonville was Caught and Charged with Killing an 18-Month-Old Boy!
CNS News–In a case that has sent shockwaves through the community of Donalsonville, Georgia, and beyond, 18-year-old Trinity Madison Poague, known for her recent title as Miss Donalsonville, finds herself in a drastically different spotlight. Poague faces severe criminal charges following the tragic death of an 18-month-old boy.
The charges against her include Felony Murder, Aggravated Battery, and 1st Degree Cruelty to Children, marking a stark contrast to the glamorous world of pageantry she was part of. This distressing incident began unfolding on Sunday, January 14, when the Georgia Southwestern State University Police Department, faced with the grave situation of an unresponsive toddler, sought the investigative expertise of the Georgia Bureau of Investigation (GBI).
The child was admitted to the emergency room at Phoebe Sumter Hospital in Americus, Georgia, under dire circumstances. Despite the exhaustive efforts of the medical staff, the young boy succumbed to his condition, turning the case into a potential criminal investigation.
The involvement of the GBI brought to light various facets of the case through meticulous interviews and a thorough examination of the evidence at hand. The outcome of this investigative process led to the arrest of Poague, who is currently being held without bond in the Sumter County Jail.

This development has plunged her future into uncertainty, as a conviction could lead to a life sentence, a far cry from the life of a beauty queen and pageant competitor. The legal proceedings are still in their preliminary stages, with court records indicating that a motion for a bond hearing has yet to be filed.
Such a hearing, when it occurs, will be pivotal, in determining whether Poague can be released on bond while awaiting further court proceedings. The GBI, maintaining a tight-lipped approach, has refrained from releasing additional details about the investigation, which remains active. Once completed, the case file is expected to be handed over to the Southwestern Judicial Circuit District Attorney’s Office, where the prosecutorial process will begin.
Trinity Madison Poague’s involvement in pageantry, including her crowning as Miss Donalsonville in 2023 and her participation in the Miss National Peanut Festival Pageant, adds a layer of public intrigue and media attention to the case. However, the gravity of the charges and the tragic loss of a young life far outweigh her achievements in the public eye.
As the community reels from this tragic event, the focus remains on the judicial process and the quest for justice for the young victim. The case serves as a stark reminder of how quickly life can change and the serious consequences that can arise from actions that lead to such devastating outcomes.
