Nevaeh Buchanan's body is believed to have been found encased in cement alongside a Michigan river. Police have yet to confirm officially but will say that the remains match the size, age and gender of the missing Michigan girl.

An autopsy is being conducted on the body, who if it is found to be Nevaeh, has had her story featured on Nancy Grace, after being found by a father and son who were fishing along the banks of the river.
"The body appears to be of the same age, size and sex of Nevaeh Buchanan," Monroe County Sheriff Tilman Crutchfield told reporters Friday at a news conference. "We have reasonable suspicion that this is the body of Nevaeh."
Nevaeh went missing on May 24 from the parking lot near her apartment complex home in Monroe, Michigan and the river is about seven miles away.
It looks like the remains have been there for a while, but specifics have not been discussed.
Crutchfield did say that
"It is a very sick or disturbed person we are looking for,"
Nevaeh's grandmother, Sherry Buchanan is still clinging to hope that the little girl is alive and that the remians are not her.
She said she wouldn't be certain the body found was her granddaughter "until I see that baby's face ... I'm not giving up hope yet because it could turn out to be another baby."
"They told me they won't know for sure until the DNA test is in," Buchanan said. "It hurts. It hurts not knowing."
The body had been dumped there and covered by some kind of fast drying cement powder.
The father and son who were fishing said they were casting from the shore when the father, Guy Bickley, noticed a bad smell coming from an area of poured cement and as they moved closer the smell became overwhelming. Guy chipped away a bit of the cement and found human skin; it was then they called the police.
There have been no arrests.
George Kennedy, 39, a registered sex offender, was a person of interest in the case and is in custody, but no charges have been laid.
