Authorities say a New Jersey man strangled his cousin and her foster daughter after he was caught taking pornographic photos of the 10-year-old girl.
Fifty-eight-year-old Brian Farmer is being held Thursday on $2.5 million bail on murder and child endangerment charges.
The Monmouth County Prosecutor's Office says Farmer was in 62-year-old Joan Colbert's apartment in Long Branch when he was caught photographing Veronica Roach on July 30. Authorities say Farmer killed Colbert and the girl and fled.
