Mo. man accused of impregnating daughter 4 times convicted of murdering 3rd child by her

Mo. father convicted of murder, incest and rape

HARRISONVILLE, Mo. — A 47-year-old Missouri man accused of impregnating his daughter four times and causing the death of one of the babies has been found guilty of second-degree murder.

Jurors took less than three hours to convict the man. He also was found guilty of incest and rape. The Associated Press is not identifying the man to protect the identity of his daughter.

The murder charge stems from the death of his daughter’s third child, who did not receive medical attention after falling ill. The baby’s remains were put in a plastic container and sealed inside a cooler.

Remains of the daughter’s fourth child, a girl who was stillborn, also were found in a cooler on rural property belonging to the defendant’s mother.
