Man Claims He Saw God Before Killing Child

Man Still Hospitalized After Incident

Shortly before stabbing his 12-year-old daughter to death, William Redman saw "God," according to Redman's arrest report.

Police said Redman, 54, attacked his daughter, Gloria Redman, 12, while his wife went to the store. Gloria had stayed home sick and was watching television with her father, officers said.

Redman told an emergency worker that while watching a religious show he "saw God" just before attacking Gloria. Police said Redman then stabbed his daughter multiple times, including a wound to the throat.

The police report doesn't indicate there was any type of argument that would have caused Redman to become enraged.

Redman's wife called the police once she got home.

Responding officers found Redman outside the trailer with injuries similar to those that killed Gloria. He is still at Sunrise Hospital.

Police booked Redman, in absentia, for the killing of his daughter. His arrest report has been released to the media, but be aware it contains some graphic descriptions and may not be suitable for all readers.

Gloria's school has set up a memorial fund at Silver State Credit Union.
