Edington was charged with murder and burglary and was released on $1 millionbail on August 30.

It turns out that the toddler was never molested. We're confident this 2 year old was notmolested, said Capt. Gary MacNamara. We are...confident in our investigation that Mr. James didnot molest the Edingtons' daughter.
