PITTSBURGH (Newsradio 1020 KDKA) -  The funeral for Nalani Johnson will be held on Saturday.

Visitation will be held from 10 a.m. to noon at Mount Ararat Baptist Church on Paulson Ave., with a service will follow.

Nalani, who would have turned two-years-old on September 16th, was reported missing on August 25th. Her body was found three days later in Blairsville. 

District Attorney said Thursday that evidence shows 25-year-old Sharena Nancy adducted Nalani and killed her. He added that the little girl’s father was not involved.

A GoFund me page has been set up by Nalani’s Godmother to help assist the toddler’s family.

On the page Veney writes:

Hello I’m Nalani Johnsons God mother I’m reaching out to see if We can help Evy (Gladys Duarte) her mother who is like a sister to me during this time of need. I’m sure that everyone is aware of how we tragically lost the light of our lives our baby “moo”.  Evy hasn’t been able to function without having Nalani by her side and I’m sure you all can only imagine how hard things are for her from every aspect of life. All I’m asking is for some help to support Evy during this time of need. Help my dearest friend get back on her feet because as unfortunate as this is Evy still has a life to live we thank you for all of your prayers kind words and donations in advance.
