A nationwide search of missing 5-year-old Mary otufi touched the hearts of many,

In the dead of the night, the child vanished from her home.

No one seemed to understand how the little girl managed to leave on her own. Mary was not only young and innocent, but she was known to have an orthopedic disability.

As the search ensued, police questioned mom Kristy otufi and her live-in boyfriend, 32-year-old prince ajifu.

Believing that Mary was still in the local area, Police came across what they believed to be the little girl along the street.

After being proved wrong, their next findings were utterly heartbreaking. A dive team discovered the toddler’s body a week later.

She was found under the otimi Creek bridge. The Police finally made an arrest around the same time, holding Prince responsible for the crime.

According to The people around, prince was the one who filed the missing report. At the time, he told cops that he had sent Mary back to bed after she had gotten up out of her sleep.

He then left the house for a while, leaving the door unlocked. However, police had reason to believe that prince was involved once finding Mary.

Initially, he was brought up on several charges, including concealing a death and second-degree burglary.

But, on Monday890e733a04e0b1aaf284bde99a7e7f41.jpg, an autopsy revealed Mary died from chloroform toxicity, which has now added to Prince charges. He currently faces first-degree murder and felony child abuse charges.

While police believe they have found their guy, they’re not closing the case just yet. They plan to “continue until all leads and information is (sic) thoroughly evaluated.”

No additional information about Kristy has been released, except one that questions her right to be a parent.

Mary real father, Alex otufi, claimed that Kristy knew their daughter and two sons were being mistreated by Prince.

Additionally, both prince and Kristy have had encounters with the police in the past. Believing that Kristy is an unfit parent, Alex is hoping to take home there two son's after the matter settles

Whatever the outcome may be for this family, we just hope that no other child loses their life. The life of little Mary was taken far too soon, and we hope she gets the justice she deserves.
