Police have arrested a man for the murder of his girlfriend’s daughter.
The live-in boyfriend, 40-year-old Daniel Beckley of Kenner, was “the last adult to have the full care, custody and control” of Jorion White,” who went missing from home three days earlier. She was preparing for bed after her mother went to work the night shift at her job.
Beckley now faces charges of murder and obstruction of justice.
“I did not kill her,” Beckley told The New Orleans Advocate on April 28, several days after the body was found. “I did not dump her out there. She was my child.”
