KILLED FOR NOT EATING A HOT DOG: DANI MAYO, 3

BAD DAD

AN EVIL stepfather brutally beat his three-year-old girl to death when she refused to eat a hot dog, cops say. 
Corey Daniels admitted to savagely smashing Dani Mayo in the chest, arms and legs with his fists, before lashing her with a belt more than 36 times, even after she had fallen to the ground. 
The tot suffered multiple skull fractures and swelling and bleeding in her brain, but although she clung to life for two days in a Phoenix, AZ, hospital, but ultimately succumbed to her injuries.
Police Sgt. Tommy Thompson told The Arizona Republic:  "The detectives told me it was one of worst cases they have seen, and these are seasoned detectives."   
He added Daniels initially denied the attack and claimed she had choked on a hot dog, but they became suspicious when the girls body was covered in bruises. 

CELINA CASS: STEPFATHER'S TRUCK TAKEN AWAY

TRAGIC

A PICKUP truck belonging to the troubled stepfather of Celina Cass, has been hauled away by cops investigating her mysterious death. 
The tragic 11-year-old's body was found dead on Monday, almost a week after her mysterious disappearance, but detectives are still trying to work out how she died. 
As part of their investigation they have taken the truck, which neighbors said was used by her stepfather Wendell Noyes, who was reportedly taken to hospital hours before the youngster's body was found. 
In the past he has received treatment for mental illness and was reportedly involuntarily committed to a mental institution and diagnosed with schizophrenia in 2003.
Officers remained tight lipped on why they were taking the truck, but it's thought they maybe searching for DNA or other clues in the vehicle.
