The foster father of a 3-year-old Indian girl, who is missing for over two weeks, has told police that his daughter choked on milk and he 'believed she had died', according to a media report. Wesley Mathews, 37, the father of Sherin Mathews, was re-arrested and charged with first-degree felony injury to a child due to a conflicting statement to police. The warrant states that Mathews told police that his daughter choked on milk in the early morning hours of October 7 and he "believed she had died." He said he "physically assisted" Sherin in drinking her milk when she wouldn't listen to him, according to the warrant. When asked yesterday about the milk story Mathews originally told police, Perlich wouldn't provide specifics because it was an ongoing investigation.
