A $10,000 reward is being offered as Connecticut authorities continue to search for a parolee accused of killing and dismembering his 11-month-old daughter.

Law enforcement officials announced the reward Monday as efforts broadened to find Christopher Francisquini, who is charged in an arrest warrant with murder in the killing of his daughter, Camilla, in Naugatuck on Friday.

The girl died of neck compressions and stab wounds, the chief medical examiner's office said.

Connecticut police are offering a $10,000 reward for information on Christopher Francisquini, who has a warrant out for the murder of his 11-month-old daughter.

Police described Francisquini as dangerous. Court records show he is on parole for a 2012 assault conviction, and authorities said he cut off an electronic monitoring device from his ankle after the killing.
