A South Carolina
family has received the tragic news that the body of Nevaeh Adams, a
5-year-old girl missing since August, was located Friday, dumped in a
landfill.
The discovery in Sumter, S.C., came more than two months after the child’s mother was found fatally stabbed and wrapped inside a rug inside her home.
“This
is a horror story in every sense of the word,” Garryl Deas, an attorney
representing the family, told The State newspaper in Columbia.
Authorities confirmed the girl’s death Tuesday. Her body was found
during a massive search of the landfill that involved some 400
volunteers as well as personnel from more than 40 government agencies,
The State reported.
“This is not the outcome any of us would have wanted,” Sumter police Chief Russell Roark told FOX 46 of Charlotte.
“But we hope this can provide some closure to the family. We will
continue working with the 3rd Circuit Solicitor’s Office to bring this
case to trial.”
On Aug. 5, family members found the body of the girl’s mother, Sharee
Bradley. She had been stabbed in the head and neck, according to The
State.
Police later arrested Daunte Johnson, 28, a transient who
had a relationship with Bradley, and charged him with two counts of
murder.

A body that was found inside a dumpster
near Alabama's most populous city has been identified as 3-year-old
Kamille "Cupcake" McKinney, who was abducted from a birthday party more
than a week ago.
Jefferson County Chief Deputy Coroner Bill Yates confirmed the positive
identification in an initial report Wednesday, which stated that
Kamille's remains were discovered Tuesday at a landfill in Gardendale, a
northern suburb of Birmingham. The cause and time of death has not yet
been determined.
Patrick Stallworth, 39, and Derick Irisha Brown, 29, were initially named persons of interest
in Kamille's disappearance. They were both arrested last week on
unrelated charges. Stallworth was arrested on child porn charges and
Brown was jailed for violating probation conditions on a previous
kidnapping charge.
After recovering the toddler's remains on Tuesday, the Birmingham Police
Department announced its plans to charge Stallworth and Brown with
capital murder and kidnapping in connection to the case.
“We believe that this was something they thought about and acted upon
and they saw an opportunity to take a young child, and they did,”
Birmingham Police Chief Patrick Smith told reporters Tuesday.
"I would
like to thank the public for all of the information, all of the tips,
all of the video and for their cooperation with this police department
during the course of this investigation."

I
decided since both girls were found on the sameday it was only fair to
post about both at the sametime for equal attention. If you never
watched your children closely at any other time, now would be the time.
It also wouldn't hurt to refresh your children memories on safety, and
talk to your teenagers about Human Trafficking.
