Rampant Abuse and Murders of Children

[HairOfTheDog]

RIP Janaya Thompson -- 5 years-old

At approximately 8:29 p.m. Wednesday, the Gulfport Police Department responded to The Palms Apartments located at 10471 Three Rivers Rd. in reference to a report of a missing child.

Thompson was last seen in the parking lot near her family's first-floor apartment, the family reported to police.

Hargrove said one of the canines from Gulf Coast Search & Rescue was given the scent of the young girl's clothing.

"They started to search near the apartments when the dog began to track, and it led up to the trailer," he said.

The Whitney Drive mobile home is located just north of their apartment complex.

"This tragedy has rocked the foundation of our community," Gulfport Mayor Billy Hewes said. "We have confidence in the compassion and professionalism of our police officers, and will devote all resources at our disposal to the solving of this crime.

Autopsy underway. No other details are being released at this time.
