Girl found slain at school, father charged
7-year-old's body discovered soon after she was dropped off
HIGHLAND FALLS, N.Y. - A man has been charged with second-degree murder in the slaying of his 7-year-old daughter who was found stabbed to death at a parochial school.
Chris Rhodes, 27, was arrested Thursday night and was being held without bail.
The arrest was based on "forensic evidence we recovered," Highland Falls Police Chief Peter Miller told NBC's "Today" show. Investigators believe first grader Jerica Rhodes was killed at the school, he said, adding that Chris Rhodes' vehicle had been seized.
Jerica Rhodes' body was discovered about 75 minutes after classes started Thursday morning at Sacred Heart of Jesus School, Miller said earlier. He would not say exactly where the girl’s body was discovered but said it was in an area she would not normally be.
Chris Rhodes dropped Jerica off at school during a school assembly and she wasn’t seen again until her body was found, police said. The girl lived with her grandparents in Highland Falls, a small village next to the U.S. Military Academy at West Point.
Police said they had not found a weapon and would not confirm how the girl died.
“I can’t believe, for the life of me, that he would have done anything like that,” Chris Rhodes’ lawyer, Sol Lesser, told the Times Herald-Record. “I know him, and I know how much he loves his daughter.”

My thoughts:
Uh how can they say he loves his daughter , this is sad , I cant believe theres things like this going on in the world and we cant do anything about it , I think when I grow up Im going to find a job were I can help people , dont know the job but I will find it.
This poor little girl did not have to die like that by her own father and whats worst right now hes on probation
thats sad to know.
