Man Charged in Killing of 7-Year-Old Daughter
From Times Wire Reports
A man was charged with murder in Highland Falls hours after his 7-year-old daughter was found stabbed to death in the boys’ restroom at her small parochial school.
The motive was unclear, and no weapon had been found, police Chief Peter Miller said. Christopher Rhodes, 27, denied guilt, police said.
The body of first-grader Jerica Rhodes was discovered not long after classes started Thursday at Sacred Heart of Jesus School. She had been stabbed more than once, Miller said. Her father was being held without bail.
