KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- A Missouri man has been arraigned on charges he sexually attacked and suffocated his high-school honors-student daughter at a motel.

Online court records don't show whether Bausby has an attorney to speak on his behalf. Bausby remains jailed on $750,000 cash bond.
Authorities said Daizsa Bausby's body was found March 22 in a Kansas City motel room. A medical examiner concluded the teenager died of asphyxia by smothering.
Police said Bausby denied having sexual contact with his daughter, but lab tests completed Monday show genetic material swabbed from Jerry Bausby's body matched the victim's DNA.
