The Richardson Police Department said investigators discovered a body around 11 a.m. Sunday in a culvert beneath a road and believe it to be Mathews; however, police won’t identify the body until there is a positive identification by proper officials.
Sherin Mathews' father, Wesley, reportedly did laundry between the time his daughter went missing and when he called police. (Richardson Texas Police Department via AP)
Investigators found that on the morning Sherin went missing, someone had driven the family’s SUV away from their home in Richardson and didn’t return until an hour later. It was after the SUV returned that Wesley reported Sherin missing.

That poor child - whomever she is!
I’m assuming the adoptive “dad” is lawyering up.
Agreed. Decent humans don’t put a 3 year old child outside in the middle of the night alone as punishment.
adoptive children with developmental disabilities come with monthly stipends.
perhaps the bucks mattered
Be interesting to learn exactly how they learned this.
Nosy neighbors?
Data logger in the on board GPS?
May the Lord,comfort you, prescious little girl.
I have a plug-in that records my driving and driving habits, mileage, time of day,etc. It allows me to get a discount of over ten percent on my insurance. They could reconstruct something from one of those, I bet.
what a sweethart. RIP honey.
Bear in mind tracker dogs exhibited NO response at the site she was supposedly left - the tree. Suggests she wasn’t left there at all.
She was found approx half a mile away in a culvert. It’s highly unlikely she walked there alone in the dark. I suspect the t’storms last night may have helped uncover her so the dogs found her.
The truth will be interesting.
Lots of cameras in the neighborhood.
Not with foreign adoption. It does come with stipends in domestic adoptions. That being said, I won’t even comment on the “adoption” aspect. All the people I know who adopted (both domestically and foreign) are upstanding parents. Foreign adopters know that many times the child is behind for a while. It goes with the territory and isn’t a secret (even when you adopt a young child). Very, very sad for the little one... how many people would have gladly taken her and loved her...
“Data logger in the on board GPS?”
Ding ding ding! We have a winner!
Seriously - I have done a lot of work for a major corporation on GPS, etc. There are LOTS of ways to track anyone. Here’s what likely happened.
1) His SUV has an independent GPS and the car’s black box (yes - many have one, whether you know it or not) can be accessed in a murder investigation
-OR, even easier-
2) His SUV has a “hands free” phone feature which tells when the phone is, and is not, connected. If he has EVER said “OK” to an app on his phone accessing his data (try to load one without it), the GPS on the phone was active, and showed where he went while connected.
That’s how maps know where traffic is slow. They are accessing and posting speeds from everybody’s phones, very easily calculated with GPS. Lots of phones moving slowly or not at all in the same area? Road is coded RED.
Even simpler. Neighbor’s camera.
There are soooo many options for the police. If this guy wasn’t very careful, he left a trail.
