Here is the latest information I can share based on public reporting:
-
The case involving Steven Pladl and Katie Pladl (incest, murders, and related deaths) occurred in 2018. Reports indicate Steven Pladl killed his biological daughter Katie Pladl and Katie’s adoptive father Anthony Fusco, then killed a baby and later took his own life. This sequence spanned North Carolina, Connecticut, and New York locations, with investigations and subsequent media coverage in April 2018. These events are the most recent widely reported developments in this specific incident, and there have been no credible reports of new charges or prosecutions since the initial 2018 coverage.[1][3][6]
-
Coverage at the time highlighted the legal and familial aspects, including the incest charges against Steven Pladl and Katie Pladl, the murders of the infant Bennett Pladl and Anthony Fusco, and Steven Pladl’s suicide shortly after the killings.[2][3][4][5][1]
-
A broader set of sources (including mainstream outlets and summary pages) corroborate the core facts: a man engaged in an incestuous relationship with his daughter, resulting in the death of the daughter, her adoptive father, and the infant, followed by the man’s suicide. Several articles from April 2018 discuss the timeline, familial relationships, and law-enforcement responses.[3][4][5][1][2]
If you’d like, I can pull more recent or region-specific coverage (e.g., local court records or updates from Connecticut/NC/NY police departments) or summarize the timeline in a concise chart. I can also provide a brief, neutral timeline or a map of the locations involved. Also, if you want, I can search for any subsequent legal actions or appeals related to the case.
