Cops: Annoyed dad dumped tot in snow, left her to die (http://news.bostonherald.com/national/northeast/view.bg?articleid=181953)
PITTSBURGH - The father of a toddler who died of exposure had knocked her out in anger, then took her outside in subfreezing temperatures and left her there, police said.
Tiny footprints in the snow showed that Nyia Miangel Page, not yet 2, got up and wandered alone in the cold before she died Sunday in the woods about a 10-minute walk from the family’s home, police said.
William Lorenzo Page, 23, is charged with criminal homicide, kidnapping, false reports and simple assault.
He told police he woke up early Saturday and found the girl awake and playing in the hallway. He said he got mad when the girl wouldn’t go back to bed, so he hit her so hard she hit her head and was unconscious, the police report said.
He then took her outside wrapped in a blanket and left her, police said.
An autopsy determined Nyia died of hypothermia, but it was ruled a homicide because investigators said it was unreasonable to assume the child got to the remote site alone.
Nyia’s mother told police she last saw the girl after Nyia tried to crawl into her parents’ bed about 12:30 a.m. Saturday. The mother told police she put the youngster back into her own bed. Police with bloodhounds searched for nearly two days before finding the little girl’s body.

Care to guess what race the daddy is?
