The Atlanta Journal-Constitution - Authorities said Monday they found the body of 7-year-old Jorelys Rivera of Canton, who has been missing since Friday. Vernon Keenan of the GBI said she had been severely beaten and sexually assaulted. The body was found in a dumpster.
Keenan said the girl's mother has been notified. Keenan said no one is in custody and there are currently no suspects.
Keenan said the body was discovered around 12:30 p.m. Police had been searching dumpsters at the apartment complex, but the dumpster where her body was found was not searched until today. Police had to move the dumpster across Reinhardt Parkway and remove the contents of the dumpster before they found the body.
Keenan did not say where the girl was killed or how far the dumpster was from the site where Jorelys was last seen.
Keenan called it a "very very horrendous crime."
