A mother in the the U.S. is greeted at her door step by her daughter's (dad's side)grandmother and two American police. The police are there to enforce a court order for TEMPORARY custody of her three yr old girl until a later court appearance. The order is signed by a Puerto Rican judge. The order grants the grandmother temporary custody of a three yr old girl. The mother at this time suspects that the grandmother bribed a judge to sign the order.
Sometime later before the court appearance, the mother recieves a call from the grandmother stating that her daughter was stung by a large insect and later died. There have been no death certificates

Proof of death would have to have been presented to the courts to get the case dropped otherwise failure to appear for the court hearing by the Mother automatically gives the Grandmother custody.
There are vital statistics in Puerto Rico,contact them with all of the information and go from there.
I don't know if an order signed by a Puerto Rican judge is legal here in the US so this might have been the first red flag.
Look at the papers that were served in the beginning of this whole nasty ordeal and get names from there and this would be a great place to start.
All in all this is going to be a sticky and expensive case.
Good Luck

Contact the local police department officers that were with the daughter at the time of the court order. Then get in touch with the judge who ordered this action...find out this judge's history and any involvement/prior knowledge of the family that he may have.
All sounds fishy to me...

You may want to take a copy of the warrant to the federal ICE [immigration] agency and have them, or a U.S. Attorney look at it. Contact the police who escorted the grandmother and served the warrant. Get as much info as you can. Where did she die? Contact the coroner for that area. This may be a kidnapping case-have as much fact as you can.
