Investigators back at home where Enfield 12-year-old found dead: Officials
Enfield police and Connecticut State Police are back at the Elm Street home where a 12-year-old was found dead over two weeks ago.
The state police Major Crime Squad is assisting Enfield investigators in conducting another search warrant inside the home, Enfield Police Chief Alaric Fox said.
On the morning of March 18, police were called to a home in Enfield for an unresponsive 12-year-old female. When they arrived, they found the girl’s mother, her 17-year-old brother, and her stepfather, who was identified as 39-year-old Anthony Federline.
In the weeks since the 12-year-old’s death, Federline has been charged with first-degree sexual assault and risk of injury to a child.
Federline was also a bus driver for Enfield Public Schools, according to Superintendent Steven Moccio. He was employed by Smyth Bus Company, the district’s contracted student transportation provider, Moccio said.
After his arrest, Federline was immediately terminated from his job as a bus driver, according to Moccio.
