Girl, 10, Warned Police Before Alleged Murder by Father: Report

Newly released police records show a 10-year-old girl pleaded for help months before her death. Rebekah Baptiste told officers about abuse in her home in February, according to the documents. An investigation was opened but later closed. In August, Rebekah was found dead. Her father and his girlfriend now face murder charges. The case has raised serious questions. Officials are reviewing why the earlier abuse report did not prevent the tragedy. Rebekah's exact cause of death has not been publicly released. The accused remain in custody awaiting trial.
