Nationwide Hunt for Father Charged with Murdering 2-Year-Old Daughter

Police believe 27-year-old Arthur Morgan, of Ocean Township, may have headed out West

The search for a central New Jersey man charged with murder in the death of his 2-year-old daughter has gone nationwide.

First Assistant Monmouth County Prosecutor Christopher Gramiccioni says the FBI and U.S. Marshals are among several agencies now involved in the search for 27-year-old Arthur Morgan III of Ocean Township. Morgan also was added this weekend as a featured fugitive on the "America's Most Wanted" television show's website.

Authorities believe Morgan fled the state after Tierra Morgan-Glover was killed Monday, shortly after picking her up for a court-approved visit, and may have headed out west.

The toddler was still strapped in her car seat when she was found partially submerged in a creek at Shark River Park in Wall. An autopsy determined the cause of death as "homicidal violence."
