PA Father Charged With Murder After 14-Month-Old Dies in Hot SUV

TL;DR
Daniel Moist, 38, has been charged with third-degree murder, involuntary manslaughter and related offenses after his 14-month-old daughter died in the back seat of his SUV in 90-degree heat in Northampton County, Pennsylvania. Authorities say Moist dropped his older daughter at a sports camp, skipped the daycare drop, stopped for drinks, and went to work, spending about 10 minutes on his phone before returning to the vehicle; the child was later found dead when his wife contacted the daycare. Investigators found a vaping device in the car and marijuana ingredients in Moist’s blood. He was released on $500,000 bail and a preliminary hearing is set for July 15.
