Parents charged in death of girl, 4, at LNAS

Few details are available in the case of a 4-year-old girl who was allegedly killed by her parents at Lemoore Naval Air Station near the end of June. Christopher Joe Stevens, 28, was arrested by the Navy Criminal Investigative Service on June 22 on suspicion of involuntary manslaughter following a three-day investigation into the death of his daughter. A few days later, his charges were changed to murder and wrongful death of a child under 8, according to then-base public information officer Dennis McGrath.
