The father of a 3-month-old who was discovered dead in her crib and covered with rat bites on Thursday told WRNO 99.5 FM that he was aware he had rats in his home and did what he could to protect his two children. Robbie Hill said comments by the station’s listeners that he and his wife didn’t properly care for their infant daughter are heartbreaking. “I did know they had a rat problem. I was doing what I had to do. I put out pellets, poison and traps,” Hill said in the interview with WRNO’s Michael Castner. “They should have trapped up that rat before it did what it did to my baby girl.” Natalie Hill was found in her crib in the family’s Westwego home bloody and covered in hundreds of bites, with the most severe injuries to her nose and right leg, police said:
“If a rat was to get to that baby’s nose, we could have heard if that baby would scream. That baby had to be dead…
…before them rats got to her,” Robbie Hill said. “If a rat was to crawl up in your crib and bite you on the nose one time, my little girl would have jumped, possibly swung her arms and the rat should have ran.”
