In her last conversation, the missing girl reportedly told her friends via social media that the part-time job was offered by her dad’s friend.
After receiving a missing person report, police said they started looking for the man, 51, who was known to be good friends with the family. A search party team found the man dead at a railroad construction site Sunday, according to authorities.
The missing girl has not been found yet. Police said they have sent out more search teams to look near the area where they found the dead body.
