Body of Mexican missing child found in her bedroom in case that has gripped Mexico

Police find body of Mexican missing girl at home

TOLUCA, Mexico — Prosecutors say the body of a 4-year-old disabled girl has been found in furniture in her own bedroom 10 days after her wealthy parents grabbed the country’s attention with a public campaign to find her.

Mexico state prosecutors’ spokesman Alfredo Albiter says investigators found Paulette Gebara Farah’s body Wednesday inside a piece of furniture. He gave no other details.

Gebara Farah’s parents reported the girl missing on March 22 and posted billboards and flyers around Mexico City of Paulette in a princess dress. The child had trouble walking and talking.

Authorities on Monday detained the parents and two maids after they gave contradictory statements. No one has been charged in the case.
