Ankeny Man Charged With Killing Infant Daughter

Ankeny Police have charged 20-year old Ryan Trowbridge with murder in the death of his 4 month old daughter Rylee. He surrendered this morning, and is being held in the Polk County Jail on $500-thousand bond. Police say while Trowbridge was caring for Rylee in July, he put her on a bed for a nap. He told police at the time he'd later checked on her and found she'd stopped breathing, and called 911. An autopsy found head injuries on the child that didn't match Trowbridge's story. His attorney tells the Des Moines Register: “At the time of the unfortunate death of his daughter he did cooperate and provide information to investigators. This is a medical case with complex medical issues. He knew there was a chance that based on the results of an autopsy he might be charged.
