TOPEKA, Kan. — A man who lived in a makeshift camp with a homeless 5-year-old Kansas girl and her father pleaded guilty Friday to first-degree murder and rape in connection with the child’s death. Topeka police reports listed him as living at the home of Felix’s mother less than a month before the child’s death, when the girl and her father also were living there. Cherry also showed up in police records because of a fight weeks before Felix’s death in the parking lot of a Taco Bell restaurant. Police records show that before Cherry came to Topeka, he’d been living in Amarillo, Texas, 400 miles southwest of Topeka, at least as of October 2021.
