A New Hampshire man has been charged with murder in connection with the January 2024 death of his girlfriend’s 1-year-old son.
Investigators allege that 22-year-old Annthoni Bliss was babysitting the victim while the child’s mom ran errands on Jan. 13, 2024, when the incident occurred.
23-month-old Luca Hudson was found unconscious after receiving a call from Bliss at 7:52 a.m.
The man denied hurting Luca or inflicting his head injuries. The boy died from blunt trauma to the head three days later.
A neighbor told police that he could hear the baby cry in a way never heard before for at least half an hour between 8 p.m. and 11 p.m.
At 4:54 a.m., Bliss searched on his phone for “2 year old head squishy” and “2 year old hit head now swollen head squishy.”
“The Keene Police Department has been diligently working on this case for the past year,” said Senior Assistant Attorney General Peter Hinckley.
“A full investigation needed to be conducted, and that included a full medical examination as to the cause and nature of Luca’s death.”
Bliss was charged with second-degree murder in connection to Luca’s death.
