Shock find: Police discover child's body in adoptive family's garden!
USA - The US police made a gruesome discovery: investigators discovered and identified the decomposed body of a young girl in the backyard of her adoptive family's home. The body had been lying there since her death four years ago and was slowly decaying.
As the New York Post reports, police officers were called to the family's home earlier this month in response to a call.
During their deployment to the home, they received "information about a previous homicide" and came across human remains in the backyard.
Last Friday, it was announced that the body was identified as Kennedy Jean Schroer. The girl was around six years old when she died in November 2020.
As the body was already badly decomposed, the police were unable to determine an exact cause of death.
No one has been arrested yet
So far, no arrests have been made in this case.
"We understand that many members of the public may be confused as to why no one has been arrested yet. This is completely understandable," the police explained.
It added: "What we want to get across is that we have a chance to gather as much information as possible to find out what happened to this child and to tell her story."
Police said that while they understand the desire to bring people to justice, they emphasized that this must be done carefully and not hastily.
