There's another twist in the story of a Utica woman who is accused of creating a phony GoFundMe page, claiming the money would benefit the family of a murdered Syracuse-area toddler.

Central New Yorkers continue to mourn the loss of toddler Maddox Lawrence, whose body was pulled from Onondaga Creek this week.

SYRACUSE, N.Y. (AP) — A prosecutor says a man charged in the slaying of his 21-month-old daughter likely killed the toddler on New York state-owned forestland outside Syracuse before returning to the city and dumping her body in a creek.

A vigil was held last night for the 21-month old toddler whose body is believed to have been found in Onondaga Creek on Tuesday.
