AP Wire | 01/10/2007 | Custody of son denied to man imprisoned in girl's starvation: "A judge refused to grant child custody and visitation rights to man imprisoned for helping his girlfriend starve her daughter to death in 1998.
Douglas J. Bittinger Sr., formerly of Burgettstown, wanted custody of the 8-year-old boy he fathered with Michelle Sue Tharp.
Tharp and Bittinger were convicted of starving her 7-year-old daughter by another man. The couple falsely reported the girl was abducted form a mall in Steubenville, Ohio, but had really dumped her body - which weighed less than 12 pounds - along a road in West Virginia.
Bittinger was sentenced to 15 to 30 years in prison and Tharp is on death row. She also lost custody of her other children, including Bittinger's son."
