The little girl was choked, stabbed and dismembered on Nov. 18, police said.
Francisquini allegedly got into an argument with a female on the morning Camilla was killed, smashed her phone and left her in the parking lot of a nearby store, according to court documents.
The female told police that Christopher Francisquini suffered from bipolar disorder and was prescribed medication, which she didn't believe he was taking.

She also said Francisquini often heard voices. At one time, the voices told him to kill his father, according to court documents.
Francisquini was charged with murder with special circumstances and risk of injury to a child.
A judge set his bond on the murder charge at $5 million and added another $1.45 million bond for several other outstanding warrants.
The judge also issued protective orders barring Francisquini from any contact with three unnamed people.
