Todd Akers was given life in prison for the 2006 murder of his former fiance’s 2-year-old daughter, Abigail “Abby” Boran. The murder shattered the once-blossoming family. Todd and his fiancé, Nicole Napier had been dating for about six months. Nicole agreed to allow Todd to adopt Abby once they were married.
On May 5, 2006, Abby was killed by severe head trauma. To the end, Todd denied intentionally causing Abby’s several skull fractures, saying they were the result of three accidental tumbles she took while they were alone in their East Naples condominium. However, Todd initially told detectives that he dropped Abby on purpose out of frustration while dealing with money troubles and his father’s death.
Medical examiners testified that Abby’s skull fractures, which branched out in several directions from a single impact point, were the result of “high velocity” force that couldn’t have been self-inflicted. Todd never provided a realistic explanation of how Abby could have injured herself.
