He is held under a $2 million cash bond.Ā The prosecutorās office says CrawfordĀ admitted to putting his 4 month-old into the Little Miami river, howeverĀ investigators have not yet saidĀ if they know exactly how Kaylynn Crawford died. If found guilty, Crawford could face the death penalty or imprisoned for life.
On Monday afternoon, August 3, Ā during a press briefing when the infantĀ was found, Savalas Kidd, Assistant Special Agent in Charge with the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigations said, āThe report that Charles Crawford filed indicating that Kaylynn had been abducted from the Dollar General in Loveland was fabricated.
