She was pronounced dead at the scene.

According to reports, Caleb told officials that he did not see the intruder’s face but noticed that his garage door was open. However, police reportedly found that it would have been impossible to open the side door of the garage without moving a refrigerator placed in front of it.

Two days later, Caleb was booked into the Miami County Jail.
