A 30-year-old man from Connecticut has been arrested for allegedly killing his girlfriend’s 21-month-old daughter, viciously beating the toddler to death last year inside her home in Delaware. Timothy Olschafskie, who previously served prison time for brutally killing at least five cats belonging to the family of his former fiancee, was arrested and extradited back to Delaware on Tuesday where he is facing one count of first-degree murder by abuse or neglect in the little girl’s violent death, authorities announced.

According to a press release from the Wilmington Police Department, WPD officers at about 9:29 a.m. on March 11, 2023, responded to a call about a child suffering a medical emergency. Upon arriving at the scene, first responders located the victim and transported her to a hospital for treatment. Unfortunately, the child succumbed to her injuries and was pronounced dead shortly after arriving at the facility.

Authorities have not released the name of the victim or her mother.

Police said that a death investigation conducted by the Delaware Division of Forensic Sciences determined that the victim’s cause of death was a homicide. Detectives with the WPD Criminal Investigations Division and the Delaware Department of Justice conducted an investigation into the circumstances of the victim’s death. Based on their findings, an arrest warrant for Timothy Olschafskie was issued on Nov. 2.

A copy of the probable cause affidavit obtained by The News Journal provided additional details about the investigation into Olschafskie.

According to the report, when first responders in March initially arrived at the home on Town Estates Drive, which belonged to Olschafskie’s then-girlfriend, they found the victim unresponsive in the living room and noted that she had “visible signs of physical injury throughout her body.” Police said that Olschafskie was the only adult present in the home when they arrived.

Police reportedly said Olschafskie was evasive at the scene, initially telling authorities his name was Timothy Edwards, then telling a second officer he did not want to provide his name. When pressed further, Olschafskie agreed to write his name and date of birth for the officers.

Per the report, Olschafskie claimed he was staying at his girlfriend’s place when the victim started crying at around 2 a.m. When he checked on her, Olschafskie allegedly said the victim had vomited on herself, so he changed and cleaned her before putting her back to bed.

His girlfriend reportedly left for work at 7 a.m., leaving Olschafskie alone with the child. He claimed the victim woke up just before 9 a.m., which is when he went into her room.

“According to Timothy, [the victim] was woozy and looked tired so he put her down and she stumbled into the living room at which time she fell down and started to have a seizure,” police reportedly wrote in the affidavit. “Timothy began CPR shortly after [the victim] became unresponsive and called [his girlfriend] via FaceTime to inform her of what was going on.”

The mother then called 911, but her daughter was pronounced dead a few hours later, at about 1:30 p.m., per the report.

An autopsy revealed that the victim suffered numerous blunt force internal injuries, including lacerations to her pancreas, liver, and the membrane attaching her intestines to the outside of the stomach, per the News Journal.

Surveillance footage from inside the home reportedly showed that after Olschafskie told his girlfriend to call 911 and he was supposedly performing CPR, he actually went into the victim’s bedroom — leaving her alone in the living room and not breathing for several minutes.

Being arrested for the murder of his girlfriend’s toddler was not the suspect’s first run-in with the law. Olschafskie in 2015 was sentenced to two years in prison after he admitted to killing five cats that belonged to his then-fiancee’s family in 2013.

According to a report from The Associated Press, police said that cats suffered “blunt force trauma, bone fractures, lacerations to internal organs and skin torn from their bodies.” At one point, one of the fiancee’s family members overheard Olschafskie on the phone describing how he threw one of the male cats named Aladdin against a wall, then picked him up and “watched him die before laying the cat on the closet floor,” CT Insider reported.

What is it that women settle (or strive) for a violent ex-con?

If they were looking for someone they could change, they're going about it wrong.

This creature is incompatible with life in free society, it has no redeeming qualities. Harvest any viable organ throw the remainder into the waste bin! I have to wonder if she knew about the cats? She left her precious baby alone with that!

Cats have nine lives, right? How many life sentences is this person gonna land up receiving in court?

I wonder if this mother knew about his past. Too many of these gals leap into a relationship with a dude and do not even bother to do any kind of research on who they are letting into their homes, beds, and around their children. Unfortunately this psychopath graduated from torturing and killing family pets to toddlers.

Hmm…

A guy killed 5 cats and then proceeded to kill a baby?

Didn’t see that coming.

This asshole loves killing the small and weak who can't defend themselves because he's too much of a coward to fight a man or a woman.

A Connecticut man already facing charges he killed his girlfriend's 22-month-old daughter last year in Wilmington, is now facing an additional charge of rape.

A review of court documents by Delaware Online/The News Journal found that 30-year-old Timothy Olschafskie has been indicted with raping the toddler.

Few details were provided in the indictment that was made public last week, but the two-page court document claims Olschafskie "did intentionally engage in sexual intercourse with "the child sometime between Dec. 1, 2022, and March 11 — that's the day police were called to a Wilmington apartment in reference to a "CPR in progress involving a child." The toddler died later that day.

Olschafskie had not been charged with rape when he was arrested in his Connecticut home or after he was extradited to Delaware in November. His other charges include second-degree murder and first-degree murder by abuse or neglect.

I hate when they say engaged in sexual intercourse when it comes to a child or an unwilling person - it is rape
