BIDDEFORD, Maine— Police arrested a Maine man earlier this week in connection with the death of a 5-week-old baby last summer in Biddeford.
The child died on June 20, 2024, and an autopsy the next day determined the death was a homicide, according to Maine State Police. Christopher Knapp, 36, of Biddeford, was arrested Tuesday on a warrant charging him with manslaughter.
Authorities have not released the child’s name, the nature of Knapp’s relationship to the infant, or the cause of death.
Knapp was indicted by a grand jury Tuesday, pleaded not guilty at his arraignment Thursday, and remains in custody on $175,000 cash bail. Knapp was taken to the York County Jail.
