We’re learning more after a 9-year-old girl, reported missing, was found dead in the Youghiogheny River early Thursday morning.
Fayette County District Attorney Mike Aubele tells KDKA Radio’s Marty Griffin that they believe Renesmay Eutsey was dead before she was reported missing and that her body was placed in the river.
“It was very apparent to us that Renesmay was, she was deceased long before we were alerted to her being ‘missing” and she was obviously placed at her location intentionally and we had enough to charge Ms. Eutsey.
31-year-old Kourtney Eutsey is charged with criminal homicide.
D.A. Aubele says he expects more charges to be filed in the case.
Another adult, a woman believed to be in a relationship with Ms. Eutsey, is also in the house that the family lived in.
Three other children living in the home have been removed and Aubele says those children will be interviewed.
“We’re not done, this case is not over, it is not solved until we get to trial,” said Aubele.
