Police initially detained Adam Slater, 49, Wednesday after tracking him down following the incident, from which he fled on foot. Riverside County sheriff's deputies and a California Highway Patrol (CHP) officer later found the suspect's daughter, Madalyn, lying dead in a ravine, authorities said. He added that his daughter had told him about the incident at the church with Slater. Slater then took his daughter from the arms of the good Samaritan he had stabbed, police said. Then multiple witnesses saw Slater throw the child over a steep cliff into a ravine before he fled on foot into the canyon, they added.
