I wonder why this case in particular garnered such special attention...
Guesses: because the girl was adopted? Because everyone involved was Indian? It was an international adoption?

More like the fathers story being that he put her in the backyard at 3am and she disappeared.

No sane person does that to a kid.

Good call! It was because the story was suspicious from the start. Still, doesn't that happen a fair amount in child murder cases? Someone said most of the cases turn out that one or both parents was the perp, yet they don't get the play that this case has.

Yeah.

Just recently there was the story of the woman who put both her kids in the oven and pretended that she was at another relative's house while video chatting the dad at the same time.

Too weird and sick.

It was my understanding the mother dumped her in some bushes.... bio uncle or grandma not to blame for that are they??

As to why everyone else is interested in it...I can't say.
Why people are interested.... the murder of a 3 yr old by a man who chose to adopt her. Tragic murder and death of a toddler should be reason enough??

Of course.
ALL these stories should get our attention.
But they don't.

Texas dad admits disposing of child's body, affidavit says - CNN

This poor child never had a chance in life with animals for parents. She would have been better off with animals!

And 99 years in prison? How about choking him with milk and leaving him to rot in a culvert?

That doesn't answer the question that was posed, though: Why this case is so high-profile, when there are 100's if kids murdered by their parents, annually. That averages out to about 30+ cases/month. But here we are, with only this one case making the news in the last few months.
