ORLANDO, Fla. — Anthony Todt’s youngest child was the first to die, Assistant State Attorney Danielle Pinnell told jurors Monday morning.
“The defendant ... went into Zoe Todt’s room while she was asleep,” Pinnell said. “He took the time to sit with her and then he rolled over on top of her until she suffocated.”
In a confession that jurors will hear during his trial, Todt told detectives he next went to the boys’ bedroom, where his eldest son was sleeping, Pinnell said during her opening statement. After suffocating and stabbing Alek, Todt went to the playroom where 11-year-old Tyler was sleeping on a sofa.
