My guess - she's either in the water and they haven't found her, or he concealed her body somewhere else because he felt he would be judged more for killing a three year old than he would his partner. Toddlers are portable, easily concealed. Adults not so much. I'm guessing he thought the water would wash away evidence.

Semi-local to me. Yes, not a lot of hope of finding this baby alive, but I am still hoping. Such a heart-breaking development yesterday.

Well, heart-broken yet again. Her sweet little smile makes me think of Myra Lewis. I am so, so sorry for anyone who loved this woman and her precious child. I'm out of words for these family annihilators.

From the article:

Brown said Johnathan McGill was detained and questioned in Alabama, and later released.

*****
Interim Jackson Police Chief and Hinds County Sheriff Tyree Jones held a press conference earlier Friday.

Jones said the circumstances are “definitely suspicious.”

“At this particular time, it’s too early to say who is involved, nor do we have any type of suspect information,” Jones said.

Yup, as I thought.

Sorry, sweet baby, you didn't deserve that kind of cruel end from someone who should have been your protector.

We still don't know for sure that the husband and father did it, whatever "it" was.

He's been arrested. That doesn't look good.

Thanks for posting that he was released. Can’t make the conclusion of guilt yet, sounds like they are still investigating.

Of course the spouse/parent is going to be the first one they look at. Even if there is NO evidence that they had anything to do with it, they may have information that nobody else would.
