Murder Charge Filed Against Father Of Baby Kate

Sean Phillips, 23, is being charged with murder in the disappearance of his infant daughter.

Murder is being charged in the case of missing Ludington infant Baby Kate, though the child’s body has not been found.

Today Michigan Attorney General Bill Schuette was in Ludington together with the Mason County prosecutor, announcing a charge of open murder against the child’s father Sean Phillips.

Officials say they have new evidence in the case, but will not give specifics.

For two years police have been searching for the remains of Katherine Phillips who was last seen when she was four months old on a summer day in 2011.

Sean Phillips has already been convicted of unlawful imprisonment. He’s behind bars while his case is under appeal.

A conviction could mean a life sentence for the 23-year-old man.
