A Licking County father is facing aggravated murder charges following a gruelling two-year investigation into the death of his four-month-old daughter.
Chance Terrence Topp, 28, was indicted by a grand jury on 13 serious counts, including aggravated murder, strangulation, domestic violence, and reckless homicide. The indictment marks a grim milestone in a case that has left a local community reeling since the infant was found unresponsive at a home in Utica, Ohio, on 13 October 2023.
