The father of a 4-month-old child, whose remains were found in the crawl space of a basement, has been arraigned on charges related to her death.

The father of a 4-month-old child, whose remains were found in the crawl space of a basement, has been arraigned on charges related to her death.

Matthew Bradley appeared in court in White Cloud this morning. He faces charges of concealing the death of an individual and being a habitual offender.

The 25-year-old says he was watching his daughter on Saturday and claims he took a nap and awoke to find her dead.

Bradley also admitted to investigators he used methamphetamine, norco pills, and morphine before and after the baby's death.

The child’s mother, Brittany Rich, said, "I just want truthful answers. I want to know why he did it and what happened. He had to have done it and besides, he told the deputies she was dead in her car seat and hot. So something had to have happened. But like I keep telling everyone: regardless, he should have called 911."

Bradley allegedly told investigators he was scared to tell anyone the child was dead.

He allegedly put the child in a car seat, drove to the child's grandmother's house and placed the body in a crawl space in the basement of the home.
