Kyana Love was on her shift as a forklift driver when a Chicago police detective arrived to see her Tuesday.

It had been two days since Love’s 16-year-old daughter, Kaylah, left their Garfield Park home Sunday to pick up McDonald’s wearing a Rugrats jacket and carrying a skull-shaped purse with a bow. Only one day had passed since Kyana Love reported her daughter missing.

The detective wanted to know if Love, 39, recognized the jacket and the purse with a person they had found dead Monday in Horan Park, also in the Garfield Park neighborhood. A woman who called 911 March 16 to report two people fighting in the park found Kaylah Love there the next day near the playground with stab wounds to the head and neck and other injuries from blunt-force trauma, according to police.
