A 25 year old father in New York, Ryan Lawrence, has admitted to murdering his 21-month-old daughter, Maddox Lawrence. He left the mother a note saying he may hurt himself or their daughter, then took her away from their home, then beat her with a wooden baseball bat, and burned her body before dumping it into a stream in the Onondaga Creek in Syracuse.

Before turning 1 year old, Maddox Lawrence was diagnosed with a rare form of eye cancer called 'retinoblastoma', which she had survived. This gathered her a lot of attention, and according to reports, this seems to be the cause of jealousy in the father, who then went on to commit the horrific crime.
Before Ryan was found, the mother had begged at a press conference in February 21, asking Ryan to "please just bring Maddox home", and continuing:
Ryan please, just please, call. We just want to know that the both of you are safe. The whole family loves you. The whole family wants you both home. We just want to know you’re in a good place.
Ryan was eventually found within days of that.
He pleaded guilty to first-degree-murder, and will spend 25 years in prison, to which he is sentenced to in the next month.
