A missing 2-year-old girl was found dead in Detroit on Wednesday, authorities announced, three days after her disappearance sparked a massive search.
Wynter Cole Smith’s body was discovered in the evening near a municipal airport that is about 6 miles northeast of downtown Detroit, Chief Ellery Sosebee of the Lansing Police Department reported.
“I am deeply saddened to report that the search for Wynter Cole Smith has come to an end. ... This investigation has moved from a missing child case to a homicide investigation,” Sosebee added. Sosebee declined to comment further on details of the ongoing investigation but promised the girl’s family will get justice.
