It had been four months since she had been seen when a two-year-old girl was found dead in a dresser in the bay windows of an abandoned building in Indiana, USA. According to our colleagues at RMC Crime, citing American media Law and Crime, the girl’s body was found on Friday April 28th. Local authorities also arrested the young victim’s mother and stepfather.
The girl and her little brother had been missing since the beginning of the year. The father had reported them missing and pointed out that his ex-wife had searched for them in Indiana without permission. The mother, accompanied by her two children, then fled to Oklahoma with her new companion.
An abused girl
The 7-month-old boy was found alive. He was returned to his father. Her two-year-old sister did not survive. Traces of beatings were discovered on the body of the little girl, who was a priori abused by her mother’s new companion. He is now suspected of causing the child’s death and subsequently hiding his body in an abandoned building.
He was arrested: He is accused of “murder” and “negligence of a relative”. The mother was also arrested: she is accused of “complicity”.
