Lee had already been charged with killing Nadia's mother, Nancy Reed. Nadia's mother was found strangled to death in a Clear Lake hotel in October 2022, and it was then that police realized Nadia was missing.
Documents revealed a chilling online search history in Lee's phone, such as "Is whooping your child a sin," and "In the Bible, is it a sin not to spank a misbehaving child?" A search was made shortly before the murder for "How long it takes for a dead body to smell."
Investigators reportedly also found pictures of Nadia with injuries to her face.
Lee's murder sentence started Monday, June 2, and will run concurrently.
