A family left their 6-year-old daughter in her bedroom to sleep for the night, only to discover that she was missing from the room later. Her mother immidiately raised the alarm that her daughter was missing from her room, only for her body to be found thirty minutes later in a canal beside close to the house. According to police investigations, she was sexually abused before she was killed. Authorities in the Salt Lake City suburb of West Jordan said the girl was reported missing by her mother early Tuesday morning. On Wednesday,
police ruled Sierra Newbold's death a homicide and said an autopsy determined she had been sexually assaulted. "At this time no suspects have been identified and we do not have any persons of interest," Police Chief Doug Diamond said.
The location where her body was found
According to the little girl's grandfather, said her mother found her missing from her bedroom early Tuesday.
"We don't have any idea" how the girl disappeared or whether she was taken from the bedroom, Reed Newbold told The Associated Press. "It's a complete mystery."
The parents "are devastated by this," he said.
Other neighbours are scared that their kids might be in danger, but police authorities have assured them of their safety and calls for calm.
