SPRINGFIELD, Ohio (AP) - In a story Dec. 28 about a man being charged with murder for killing his daughter, The Associated Press misspelled the name of the dead infant. Her name was Lilly, not Lily.
A corrected version of the story is below:
Father of 3-month-old charged with murder in her death
Prosecutors have charged a southwest Ohio man with murder after his infant daughter was found dead strapped to a car seat in his truck
SPRINGFIELD, Ohio (AP) - Prosecutors have charged a southwest Ohio man with murder after his infant daughter was found dead strapped to a car seat in his truck.
Clark County court documents allege 22-year-old Brian Hayslip told police he shook 3-month-old Lilly Hayslip when she began crying while he was feeding her Tuesday. Someone called 911 hours later to report finding the girl dead inside the truck with its engine running in rural Mercer County.
Police found Hayslip in a field using a K9. Hayslip reportedly said he was looking for a place to bury Lilly. Authorities determined Wednesday Lilly was killed in Clark County.
Lilly’s mother called Clark County authorities Tuesday to report her missing after Hayslip, her fiancé, failed to drop off the girl off at her grandmother’s house so Hayslip could go to work.
