A Logan man was charged Tuesday with purposely smothering his girlfriend’s baby in December when the child wouldn’t stop crying.
Investigators spent months trying to understand what happened to Kynlee Jo Corbridge after she was found dead on Dec. 15, her face and head covered in bruises and abrasions, and tightly swaddled in a blanket in her bed, according to charging documents.
Forensic and circumstantial evidence point to 30-year-old Kyle Taylor Gooch, the boyfriend of the baby’s mother, who was the only adult home at the time the baby died, documents state.
Police built their case against Gooch after an autopsy reported the baby died in one of two ways: intentional smothering or accidental asphyxia.
