A Missouri man admitted to killing his 6-year-old daughter earlier this month while he was on probation for unrelated domestic violence charges.
Officers with the St. Joseph Police Department responded to a Buchanan County home where Dustin L. Beechner had been acting erratically on Sept. 2.

Once there, Beechner led officers to his slain daughter’s body he had covered with a white sheet on the roof of the home.
Investigators determined that the child, identified as Jozlyn Beechner, was fatally beaten by her father with an aluminum baseball bat.
“I’ve been doing good for a year and a half in recovery. Some things have been going on in my life,” the father reportedly said in a court hearing before being stopped by the judge.
