A Michigan City couple, charged in the death of their daughter, appeared in court Thursday.
Melissa and Scott Bruce face felony neglect charges, which could mean up to 90 years in prison.
Four-year-old Savannah Pioch was found dead in her home back in September.
Prosecutors say Pioch was beaten, tied up, and left in a sleeping bag upstairs.
An autopsy showed Savannah died of a neck injury.
The coroner also found other cuts and bruises that revealed a history of physical abuse.
The couple is being held responsible for the death by not seeking medical care for Savannah after she was allegedly beaten.
