A man has been arrested in the disappearance and death of 6-year-old Jadianna Larsen.
Jadianna was first reported missing Thursday morning around 11 a.m. by her mother’s boyrfriend, 25-year-old Juan Rivera. Rivera, who was Jadianna’s caretaker, told investigators that he had a “medical emergency” and woke up to find the girl missing.
Detectives confirmed that Jadianna had not been in school for a week.
Thursday morning, in the rural Glenn County community of Artois, the burned remains of a young girl were found. Detectives believe the body belonged to Jadianna, and no longer consider her to be missing.
