June 2005
Michael Riley allegedly sexually assaulted Carolyn's 13-year-old daughter. DSS was aware of the alleged incident, and knew that the visit between Michael Riley and his family occurred in violation of a judge's order for Riley to stay away from his kids other than in supervised visits with DSS. That order was prompted by allegations that in June 2005 he molested his teenage stepdaughter. Despite the allegations, his sister said she allowed him to receive court approval to babysit her two children because they were perfectly safe with him.

The attorney for New England Medical Center psychiatrist Dr. Kayoko Kifuji, J.W. Carney, said the psychiatrist was "shocked and devastated" at the Dec. 13 death of the little girl, whom she had treated for 18 months. "Dr. Kifuji did absolutely nothing wrong from a medical perspective. She gave an appropriate prescription and monitored it," he said. "She absolutely did not overprescribe."

Between Aug. 15 and Nov. 27, the Rileys obtained 15 refills of Clonidine, the drug that eventually killed Rebecca, from a Walgreens in Weymouth, the affidavit said. Michael Polzin, a spokesman for Walgreens, said the drugstore chain was contacted by a State Police officer who said the company is not under investigation. "We are deeply saddened to hear about this," Polzin said. "As far as the medication that was taken, we filled a valid prescription authorized by the patient's physician, and all of the appropriate drug information and directions were given to the family."

Authorities said Rebecca's 10-day prescriptions for Clonidine were filled early on multiple occasions last fall. The nurse at Rebecca’s school begins to notice her increased inability to be active. The nurse observes Rebecca in gym class, noting that she appeared barely awake.
