Authorities Investigate Death Of Ottawa County Child Abused As Infant

The Ottawa County Sheriff's Office has asked the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation to assist its office in looking into the death of a 5-year-old.

Medics arrived at a home in Miami, Okla., on Wednesday to find Conner Jackson Kreider-Reece dead.

The OSBI says, as a 2-month-old, Conner suffered a severe brain injury at the hands of his father, 27-year-old Henry Moland.

At that time, Bartlesville Police said Moland struck Conner's head on a coffee table and shook him several times.

Moland was sentenced to 30 years in prison for child abuse by injury after he pleaded guilty before a Washington County judge.

Authorities have not said whether Conner's death was related to his earlier injury.
