Indiana Man Accused of Killing 5-Year-Old with Autism Allegedly Researched 'Painful Ways to Die' Online
Quote:
A month before his girlfriend’s 5-year-old son with autism was killed, investigators allege an Indiana man conducted internet searches on his phone for “kill my mentally ret*d step-son,” “torture techniques,” and “painful ways to die,” PEOPLE confirms.
A probable cause affidavit obtained by PEOPLE alleges 31-year-old Steven Ingalls, Jr. was responsible for the 2016 asphyxiation and intentional overdose death of Brayson Price, the child of Meghan Price, his girlfriend of more than two years.
Price, 29, and Ingalls lived in the same home with Brayson in Monrovia, and also have a young son together, states the affidavit.
Price and Ingalls are both charged with neglect and conspiracy to commit murder. Both have pleaded not guilty.
