Police in Logan, Utah, are continuing their search for a 5-year-old girl who disappeared from her family's home over the weekend.

Elizabeth Shelley was last seen at home by her mother on Saturday at 2 a.m., according to Logan City Police Captain Tyson Budge.

Eight hours later, police were alerted that the girl was missing.

Also missing from the home that morning was 21-year-old Alexander Whipple, Elizabeth's uncle, who police say is the main suspect in the case. He had come to the family's home for a visit on Friday night and was last seen around the same time as his niece.

Whipple was located Saturday and arrested on a warrant for a probation violation, police said. He was booked into Cache County jail and was being held Sunday on $25,000 bond. Elizabeth was not with him when he was found, police said.

Budge, the police captain, told CNN the case is "not going to end well."

In a post on Facebook, Logan City Police called Whipple "uncooperative" and said that FBI and local agencies had been working to finish search warrants and follow up on leads. They said they could not release all details relevant to the investigation but that the search for Elizabeth was ongoing.

Seems to be the unfolding of a familiar script.

So much for “stranger danger”—relatives or “family friends” are often perpetrators of horrific crimes against children.

Sadly, that does seem to be true.

I remember seeing a murder story on the Crime Channel where the cop being interviewed said that when investigating the death,or disappearance,of a woman or girl “before you look at the outlaws you look at the in-laws”.

It's not difficult to imagine what he might have done to the kid before he killed her.Hopefully he'll get a great big dose of prison justice long before the state has a chance to give him the hot shot (or the 21 gun salute...Utah has the firing squad).

He looks like an utter piece of crap. Times like this, I’d support a bit of torture to get the information, because he either raped and killed the child, or he sold her to someone who wanted to rape and kill a child.

Hoping this little girl is found alive, even if the chances are slim.

The Constitution requires speedy justice. In a rational America, that would mean a speedy execution.
