Camilla Francisquini Case
When officers and first responders entered the house, Camilla Francisquini was discovered in a condition of dismemberment, Naugatuck Police Chief Colin McAllister told reporters. The baby was stabbed to death, as per FBI.
The fugitive is now accused of risk of injury to a minor and murder with specific circumstances, both of which carry mandatory life sentences without the possibility of parole if found guilty. The New Haven FBI Field Office stated on Tuesday that it is still working around the clock with all of our law enforcement partners in the search of Christopher Francisquini, as per Meaww.
In a horrific and gory crime that a police chief is calling one of the most difficult and challenging cases that we have ever had to investigate, the FBI first offered a $10,000 reward in the manhunt for a Connecticut father who is accused of killing his 11-month-old daughter.
Camilla Francisquini, who was buried on Saturday, Nov. 19, was found in a condition of dismemberment when detectives and emergency personnel uncovered her remains at her father's Naugatuck residence, according to Naugatuck Police Chief Colin McAllister. Christopher Francisquini, who McAllister claimed had a extensive criminal past and was well known to law enforcement, was on special parole at the time of the incident.
Christopher Francisquini Has Previous Criminal Offenses
The 31-year-old suspect is currently accused of murder with unusual circumstances and endangering a kid. The murder's motivation is still a mystery. According to the authorities, Camilla passed away from neck compressions and stab wounds.
The Connecticut father's car was reportedly located abandoned along Interstate 91 in the New Haven region on the Friday his daughter was found dead, according to McAllister. Surveillance footage allegedly showed Francisquini strolling down a street in the city in southern Connecticut.
Among the organizations assisting in the hunt for Christopher Francisquini are the Connecticut State Police and the FBI's Violent Crime Task Forces, with the latter offering a $25,000 reward to any individual with information that leads to the capture and prosecution of this suspect, according to the Naugatuck Police Department.
In addition to having multiple active assault and theft-related cases, Christopher Francisquini has been found guilty of drug possession and assault, Fox News reported. Until 2032, he remains on special parole after being released from prison, as per WFSB.
Prior to fleeing, he was able to remove his tracking device, according to the police. The younger sister of Christopher Francisquini referred to her niece's passing as an unthinkable tragedy. She said on Facebook that "no words can convey the emotions and sensations my family and I am going through," referring to Camilla as a "lovely, beautiful newborn girl" whose "smile lit up a room."
