Fox's murder was a gruesome crime that rocked the Rust Belt community. Search volunteers found Riley's body face-down in a creek in the Forsythe Woods, about a two-and-a-half miles from the Fox residence.
Authorities initially charged the young girl's father, Kevin Fox, with the murder, based largely on a videotape confession that he'd killed Riley.
According to the investigators, Kevin Fox said he woke up in the middle of the night went to the bathroom, where he accidentally hit Riley with the door, causing her to stumble and hit her head on the bathtub. Thinking he'd accidentally killed her, he panicked and supposedly did something to make it look like she was sexually assaulted.
Investigators said he put duct tape over Riley's mouth, drove her in his car to the river, walked down the side of a small bridge and dumped her into the river.
Fox spent eight months in prison before he was released and ultimately cleared through DNA evidence
