    Blunt force trauma to the head, neck and face – that’s what authorities say killed a young Ohio girl, and cops say it’s a relative that’s to blame.

    FOX News Radio’s Chris Hoenig reports:

    Police say Pierson is the girl’s uncle, and lived with Williams and his mother, the girl’s grandmother.  Highland County Sheriff Ron Ward says they have the murder weapon, but there are still unanswered questions.

    (Ward) “We’re investigating as to whether there was any sexual assault involved in this case.”

    Matthew Pierson is charged with murder, bond set at $500,000.  Cops say he’s confessed.
