SACRAMENTO (CBS13) – A five-year-old discovered dead in a Sacramento storage unit may have been kept in a dog cage in a Reno apartment before she died, according to new reports.

The father and stepmom of Cali, the young girl found dead, are now both facing charges.

A Reno TV station obtained an affidavit that says police found an animal crate inside the couple’s Reno apartment bathroom. It had handcuffs attached and food nearby, but no evidence of a pet.

The stepmom reportedly told police Cali was unresponsive earlier this month. They tried CPR before putting girl in cold water, then into a duffel bag.

The child’s body was apparently kept in a closet for a week as the father reportedly searched the web on how to get rid of a body.

He allegedly eventually drove the body to a Sacramento storage facility on El Camino Avenue.

Cali’s stepmom is in jail in Nevada is facing child abuse charges.
