An Ohio man is behind bars facing murder charges days after he called 911 to report his girlfriend’s daughter missing.
Devin O’Brien, 29, allegedly called 922 late Thursday to report that the 3-year-old girl and his dog were “taken” by a “deadbeat drug guy” while he napped.
He added that the girl’s mother was working in Cleveland and that she and the toddler had just recently moved into his Sandusky home.
“I’m thinking should I drive around and look. I don’t know. They just moved in with me. There’s a field near here,” he reportedly told the dispatcher.
Officers responded to the home on Venice Road at around 9 p.m. and found the toddler’s body nearby.
The Lucas County Coroner’s Office determined the child’s cause of death as strangulation.
