ALBANY
A Green County teen pleaded not guilty Friday to charges he faces in the fatal shooting of his infant daughter soon after she was born last month.
Logan T. Kruckenberg-Anderson, 16, of Albany also waived his preliminary hearing Friday, so Green County Judge Thomas Vale bound him over for trial.
Kruckenberg-Anderson faces charges of first-degree intentional homicide and hiding a corpse in connection with the death of his daughter, Harper, shortly after she was born Jan. 5.
The teen is accused of taking Harper into the snowy woods and shooting her because he and the girlâs mother, also in her teens, did not want to keep her, according to the criminal complaint.
Attorneys for a 16-year-old Wisconsin boy who allegedly shot his newborn daughter in the head and buried her in the snow have asked the court to move his trial to juvenile court, WKOW reports.
Logan T. Kruckenberg-Anderson was charged with first degree intentional homicide and hiding a corpse in adult court after initially saying he had given the baby girl to a friend named “Tyler,” as CrimeOnline previously reported. Under questioning, Kruckenberg-Anderson reportedly admitted there was no “Tyler” and that he had taken the baby and hidden her inside a fallen tree where he knew she would freeze to death.
