The investigation revealed a history of domestic issues and police calls to the family home leading up to the homicide. 
On December 7, officers responded to a report of a runaway juvenile who was ultimately located and returned home safely. Later in the month, officers responded to a report of a domestic disturbance at the apartment where police determined the girl had battered her father causing visible injuries which led to her arrest on December 13.
Waldie had called police earlier in the day to report his daughter had runaway for a second time this month. Police located the girl and returned her home where she would go on to allegedly kill her father after a fight over her punishment.
Officers claim there was no evidence that anyone else was in the home at the time of the crime, while noting that the girl had suffered no previous injuries.
‘Detectives also determined that there were no signs of forced entry into the home and it was established that the only residents of the apartment were the 55-year-old male victim and his juvenile daughter,’ Lt. Taylor said.
Investigators found no evidence of significant physical harm to the girl leading up to the incident.
‘Throughout the investigation, no evidence was found to indicate that the juvenile sustained any significant physical injuries prior to the events of December 27,’ police said.
