Teenage Girl Caught in Middle of Child Custody Dispute

A teenage girl is now caught in the middle of an ugly child custody case where her father has been accused of killing his estranged wife and her boyfriend.

Although Eligio Isalgue's murder case is still pending, he went before a court on Tuesday to discuss where his daughter will live in the meantime. According to police reports, the young girl was in the shower when she heard the gunshots on Sunday night.

At this time the young girl, who has been described as "articulate" and "very strong" by representatives of the Department of Children and Families, will stay with her older sister. Lawyer for both sides - the father and the state - were agreeable with this ruling, stating that the household is "stable" enough for the young girl to stay there.
