Homicide hearings continued again for Point Marion couple
A preliminary hearing was continued for a seventh time this morning for a Point Marion couple charged with homicide in the death of their toddler.
State police Trooper Timothy Kirsch said Robert David Dodson, 55, and Tammy Jo Bohon, 35, were each charged before Magisterial District Judge Ronald J. Haggerty Jr. with criminal homicide and endangering the welfare of a child following the death of their daughter, Madison Violet Dodson.
Police said Robert Dodson had left the 15-month-old girl to sleep on the living room floor amongst animal feces and garbage around 11?p.m. Jan. 5, while the toddler’s mother was smoking crack cocaine in Masontown. The girl was found dead by Dodson the following morning, police said.
A new hearing date has not been scheduled.
