Sherin Mathews' father has been arrested.
He was out on bond for neglect and abandonment charges filed just after Sherin was reported missing.
Yesterday, the new felony charge of first-degree felony injury to a child was filed against him after he gave new answers to investigators' questions following the discovery of his daughter's body.
The felony crime is punishable by up to life imprisonment. Bond was set at $1 million, Richardson police Sgt. Kevin Perlich said.
Perlich did not say how Mathews' new answers deviated from his previous statements regarding the disappearance of his adopted daughter, Sherin Mathews. But Perlich said the elder Mathews gave different answers to police questions than before.
