SPENCER, Ind.– The man accused of abducting, raping and killing a 1-year-old girl could face a jail sentence of life without parole.

Kyle Parker is charged with murder, rape and kidnapping in the death of Shaylyn Ammerman. She was abducted from her crib at her paternal grandmother’s house in Spencer before dawn on March 23. Parker is accused of raping the girl before killing her.

Parker had been drinking at the house with Shaylyn’s uncle and step-grandfather. Her body was found the next day.

The doctor who examined Shaylyn after her death called it the worst case of sexual trauma she had ever seen. She died of asphyxiation.

The Owen County Prosecutor’s Office added five aggravating circumstance charges to the case Monday, all built on the initial murder charge. The circumstances include child molesting, rape, torture and the fact that Ammerman was less than 12 years old.

Prosecutors were previously considering the death penalty, but instead decided to seek life without parole for Parker. No explanation was provided.

Parker is expected in court on Oct. 5.
