POSTED: Friday, August 11, 2006
DETROIT -- Police may be close to making an arrest in the disappearance of Raven Jeffries, Local 4 reported.
The 7-year-old Detroit girl was last seen on McDonald Street in southwest Detroit outside the front door of her home at about 7 p.m. on Aug. 4, according to police and Local 4 reports. Police said they may now have a suspect in mind in her disappearance, Local 4 reported.
Investigators served at least two search warrants in the city of Taylor in connection with the girl's disappearance, Local 4 reported. Employees at Metro Storage in Taylor said police spent several hours at the site and left at about 3 a.m. Friday with evidence, the station reported.
Police continue to investigate Raven's disappearance with the discovery of a girl's body in Romulus on Monday. Investigators are awaiting DNA evidence -- which may be available on Friday -- to determine if the body is a match with Raven.
Investigators said the clothing of the girl found dead matched the clothing of Raven Jeffries, according to the child's friends. Police also examined Raven's baby teeth and bedding in their investigation.
Raven's family continues to hold out hope that the girl is safe. They said they know nothing of the search warrants or a possible suspect, Local 4 reported.
