MONROE, Mich. — A body found buried in a shallow grave along a riverbank and covered in concrete is likely that of a missing 5-year- old Michigan girl, and authorities said Friday they have turned to finding the person who abducted and killed her.

Monroe County Sheriff Tilman Crutchfield said police have a “reasonable suspicion” that the body is that of Nevaeh Buchanan, who disappeared May 24 from the parking lot of her apartment complex about 7 miles away.

He declined to comment Friday on two people identified as persons of interest, including a registered sex offender.
