Murdered woman's child removed from home

The child of a murdered Findlay woman is removed from the home where she was living.

Findlay detectives say Willadean Brooks, the 17 month old daughter of Vera Jo Reigle was taken to Children's Protective Services in Hancock County because of a court ordered removal.

The child was living at 300 Center Street in Findlay when she was removed by police on March 28th. Reigle, Brooks, and other family members appeared to be living together at this address.

The home is also where members of the Brooks family say Reigle was beaten by Daniel Bixler before she was allegedly killed by him.

Lieutenant Chuck Wilson says police had been called to the Center Street home in the past.
