Utah girl, 6, found dead in canal near home after sexual assault: police
June 27, 2012

Sierra Newbold, 6, was reported missing Tuesday from her home in West Jordan, Utah. Authorities are now searching for a suspect.

A 6-year-old girl found dead in a canal near her home was sexually assaulted, and authorities are now searching for a suspect, police said Wednesday.

Police in the Salt Lake City suburb of West Jordan said the girl was reported missing by her mother early Tuesday morning. On Wednesday, police ruled Sierra Newbold’s death a homicide and said an autopsy determined she had been sexually assaulted.

“At this time no suspects have been identified and we do not have any persons of interest,” Police Chief Doug Diamond said Wednesday.

He said that while residents in the area shouldn’t panic, “there’s obviously a predator out there.”

Diamond said the girl’s parents, Kathy and Brad Newbold, have been cooperating in the investigation. He asked the public to respect the family’s privacy at this time, The Salt Lake Tribune reported.

Reed Newbold, the girl’s grandfather, said her mother found her missing from her bedroom early Tuesday.

“We don’t have any idea” how the girl disappeared or whether she was taken from the bedroom, Reed Newbold told The Associated Press. “It’s a complete mystery.”

The parents “are devastated by this,” he said. No working telephone number could be found for the parents, and authorities had cordoned off the neighborhood with police tape and patrol cars, where pink and purple ribbons hung on trees and mailboxes.
Officers found Sierra’s body in the canal about a block from her home, just 30 minutes after her mother “discovered she was not there and called us,” police Sgt. Drew Sanders said.

Sanders declined to comment on any possible motive in the case. Investigators also are withholding a precise chain of events leading to the girl’s disappearance.

Police have said there were no signs of a break-in at the family’s home, and they declined to release any more details about the case.

WEST JORDAN, Utah –  A 6-year-old Utah girl was found dead in a canal Tuesday after her mother reported her missing from her bedroom.

Police say Sierra Newbold was sexually assaulted, murdered and left in the canal near her home in West Jordan, a suburb of Salt Lake City, Fox 13 reports.

The girl's grandfather tells The Associated Press the child's mother went into her bedroom at about 7:30 a.m. Tuesday morning and Sierra was gone.

"We don't have any idea how the girl disappeared or whether she was taken from the bedroom," Reed Newbold told The Associated Press. "It's a complete mystery."

Police say they found the child's body in the canal just 30 minutes after her mother reported her missing. An autopsy revealed she had been sexually assaulted and investigators officially ruled her death a homicide Wednesday.

Police Chief Doug Diamond says at this point investigators have no suspects, but believe the murder was an isolated incident.

Poor sweet baby.

My heart hurts so much for this precious little girl.  I am so sick of perverts doing this to our children.  There HAS to be something that we can do about this.  There just has to be.

Muffy we both started a thread.  I put it in Missing Found Deceased as that is how it began.  Just they found her body very quickly.  I"ll merge the two threads.

Police found Sierra’s body on Tuesday about 8 a.m. in a canal about a block from her home. The discovery occurred about 30 minutes after her mother reported the girl missing from the family’s home, near 2400 West and 7100 South. There were no obvious signs of a break-in at the home, police said.

At the time the mother called police, her husband had already left for work, Dia­mond said, but a younger sister and an older brother were home. He didn’t know if Sierra might have been specifically targeted.

Here is the canal that is taped off...I looked up the approximate location and am guessing that the canal runs behind the home.

Sierra Newbold was reported missing at 7:27 a.m. A short time later West Jordan police were knocking on neighbor's doors asking for their help in finding the six year old. Ruby Farnworth told ABC 4 she and other neighbors went out looking for Sierra but it wasn't long before they were told they could stop searching. "Other neighbors who were out looking told us they found her body and that we could stop looking," said Farnworth. Less than an hour after she was reported missing, and less than 200 feet from her home, the body of the missing six year old was found.
