The body of the infant was found in the cab of a pickup truck where the father dumped her.

Prosecutors say Warner showed no emotion during a court hearing where he was charged with one count each of 'murder, assault on a child causing death, torture, oral copulation or sexual penetration with a child 10 years or younger and aggravated sexual assault of a child.'

Though his relatives claim Warner adored his daughter and could not commit such atrocities against her, the coroner's report has been kept sealed while he is being prosecuted for the heinous crimes and could face a lifetime in jail if found guilty.

The Judge, David Walgren increased Warner bail to more than $2 million while his arraignment was set for 18 February, 2015.
