FOX 17 - a news release from the Ludington Police Department says that authorities are now transitioning the case to a homicide investigation, as they believe Sean Phillips "knows the location of Katherine's body." No Shit
Investigators say that involvement by Baby Kate's mom, Ariel Courtland, and initial speculation that she was given away to another family, is not supported by the evidence uncovered over the past 10 months of investigations.
Prosecutors finally have enough evidence to charge Sean Phillips with murder, Jez.
The 4-month-old girl was reported missing on June 29, 2011, when her father allegedly drove away from her mother’s Ludington, Michigan, apartment with her in the car after an argument. Phillips was arrested at his parents’ house three hours later, but Katherine was gone and the clothes she was last seen wearing were found in his pocket, according to police.
“More than two years ago on June 29, 2011, Baby Kate was murdered,” Attorney General Bill Schuette said at the press conference. “Unfortunately, we will never be able to bring Baby Kate back. She was an innocent victim of a terrible crime at the hands of her own father, no less. This is a tragic case. It just makes you sick. There will be no first birthday party for Baby Kate. No first day of kindergarten. No first Christmas.”
Schuette said officials discovered new evidence in the case that supports the murder charge, but he declined to elaborate on what authorities have found.

Really wanna hear more about this new evidence and still hoping that little Kate's body is found so she can be laid to rest properly (and so that the case against her POS father will be even stronger).
