The body of a Maryland girl who authorities say was abducted by a registered sex offender was found Friday in a wooded area near the Delaware state line after thousands of volunteers spent Christmas searching for her.
Thomas J. Leggs Jr., 30, was arrested Wednesday and charged in her kidnapping. Sarah was last seen Tuesday night at her home on Maryland's Eastern Shore. A relative discovered she was missing early Wednesday while checking on Sarah and her 6-year-old sister. A charging document says Leggs was the last person seen with Sarah.
"There's no indication of involvement of any other individuals at this point," Ruark told The Associated Press.
Leggs is a former boyfriend of the girl's aunt, who is her legal guardian.
Leggs, who has been convicted of assault several times, also is awaiting trial on charges of burglary and destruction of property in Ocean City.
