NEW YORK – The man accused of killing the girl known as "Baby Hope" has died in custody.
The government's correctional commission confirms that Conrado Juarez died in a hospital in Rockland County over the weekend.
Juarez, 57, has been awaiting trial since his arrest in 2013.

His murder remained unresolved for more than two decades.
