\"Mayra<\/p>\n

When Sergio Valdez saw his 1000-pound client, Marya Rosales, in bed for the first time, he almost mistook some of her folds of fat for pillows.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve all seen obese, heavyset people. You have not seen obesity at this level,\u201d Valdez said in \u201cHalf-Ton Killer?\u201d a TLC special airing Oct. 10 about Rosales, a woman bedridden from obesity, who claimed she accidently crushed and killed her two-year-old nephew.<\/p>\n

Rosales reportedly weighs nearly 1,100 pounds, enough to qualify her as one of the world\u2019s fattest women, but Valdez says even knowing she weighs more than five average men, doesn\u2019t prepare anyone for her sheer massiveness.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen you first walk in, she\u2019s got a blanket covering her; there\u2019s pillows all around her and so you don\u2019t know whether it\u2019s pillows or whether it\u2019s her,\u201d he said. \u201cIf you reach back in again, you think this is all pillows. You make a circle and [you realize] that it\u2019s Mayra.\u201d<\/p>\n

In 2008, Rosales first claimed she killed her 2-year-old nephew Eliseo Jr. when she accidentally rolled over and crushed him under her 1,100 pound frame, but Valdez knew something else was going on.<\/p>\n

In the special, Rosales now says she saw her sister use a brush to hit Eliseo repeatedly on his arms, legs and head, and\u00a0Valdez said she took the blame so that her sister\u2019s other kids would still have a mom.<\/a><\/p>\n

Valdez said that Rosales\u2019 excuse collapsed under her own massive weight, especially after doctors determined the child\u2019s cause of death came from being hit, not from being smothered.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe knew something was wrong from the very beginning,\u201d Valdez noted in the show. \u201cWe said, we\u2019re going to have you reenact [how you killed the child] and you can show us.\u201d<\/p>\n
