TOPEKA, Kan. — Police in Topeka have arrested a man accused of killing his 2-year-old daughter, whose body was found by first responders called to the family home in January.
Police say 45-year-old Jeffrey Exon was arrested Tuesday afternoon on suspicion of first-degree murder, aggravated endangerment of a child and failure to report the death of a child. Police and paramedics were called to the home on Jan. 5 for reports of an unresponsive toddler and found 2-year-old Aurora Exon dead.
Paramedics said it appeared the child had been dead for several days, and a medical examiner later determined her death to be a homicide.
