The community is going \u2018Red for Ruby\u2019, an eight-month-old girl that was the victim of a heinous and senseless crime last Sunday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The New York State Police have arrested 25-year-old Cody A. Franciscovich, of Owego, N.Y., and charged him with in the first degree, an A Class Felony in connection with the death of his 8-month-old daughter, Ruby L. Franciscovich.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At approximately 7:14 a.m. on Sunday, June 9, 2019, Tioga County 911 received a call to check the welfare on an 8-month-old who was missing from the Deep Well Motel on Route 17C in the town of Tioga. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to police, responding troopers began their search to locate 8-month-old Ruby, who was reportedly last seen at the motel with her father, Cody Franciscovich. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Cody Franciscovich, Ruby Franciscovich, her mother, and two other children, ages two and four had been residing at the motel for several weeks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Shortly before 8 a.m., Tioga County 911 received another 911 call of a naked male on Route 17C in the town of Tioga. Troopers soon located Cody Franciscovich on Route 17C, just west of the motel. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
They interviewed him about Ruby Franciscovich\u2019s whereabouts and he directed the troopers to a pond behind St. Patrick\u2019s Cemetery on Route 17C. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Upon investigation of the area, troopers located Ruby face down about 25-feet from shore. A trooper quickly waded out into the water and retrieved Ruby, and initiated CPR. Owego Ambulance transported Ruby to Wilson Hospital in Johnson City where she was pronounced deceased. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Following the arrest, Cody Franciscovich was arraigned and remanded to the Tioga County Jail on no bail. In a court appearance in the Town of Tioga court on Wednesday, June 12, the father pleaded not guilty and was being represented by public defenders George Awad and Tom Cline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although there are no formal charges of Rape, documents state he ‘did knowingly and intentionally commit the crime of murder in the first-degree when in the immediate flight thereafter of committing the crimes of rape in the first degree and criminal sex act in the first degree he killed his eight-month-old daughter\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Franciscovich is currently being held without bail in a Tioga County jail, and a hearing was scheduled Friday, where the Town Justice will decide whether there’s enough evidence to bring the case before a grand jury for consideration of indictment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If indicted by a grand jury and later convicted of Ruby’s murder, Franciscovich could face up to life in prison.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This investigation is on going, and police noted that the two other children are with other family members and Child Protective Services is actively involved in the case. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
But in the meantime, the community is mourning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nA movement, #RedForRuby, is helping the community grieve this tragedy. (Photo by Jim Raftis, Sr.)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
On Monday, a unified effort, #RedForRuby, was a sign of solidarity as red balloons, roses, and other items were placed at the iron gates of St. Patrick\u2019s Cemetery; a single flower was placed by a path that leads to the pond, where young Ruby was located. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A vigil for Ruby is also planned for Monday, at 8 p.m. at the cemetery. Attendees are asked to wear red in Ruby\u2019s honor. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The outpouring of love for Ruby, whose life was cut short, and the grief being experienced around the county, nation and world, as expressed in a Thursday report in the U.K.s Daily Mail, reminds us that we have compassion. Rest in peace Ruby.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kathy Ostrander posted the following poem, as an expression of grief, on social media.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Angel Ruby<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
You were born such a beautiful jewel<\/p>\n\n\n\n
How could anyone be so cruel?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Your life was spread before you<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What wonderful things you would do<\/p>\n\n\n\n
No one knows what you could have been<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We can only wonder and pretend<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You should have lived a long and beautiful life<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Doing all kinds of things like riding a bike<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You will never be able to do all these things<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As your life was cut short by death\u2019s sting<\/p>\n\n\n\n
One you trusted to love and protect you betrayed<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And your last moments were spent afraid<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We will light a candle to remember and send our love<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You are a red star shining way far up above<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Glowing brightly with your Heavenly Father safe and sound<\/p>\n\n\n\n
