ROUGH CUT (NO REPORTER NARRATION) A body believed to be of a 3-year-old North Carolina girl who was missing for six days was found in a creek on Saturday night (December 2), a day after the mother's live-in boyfriend was arrested in connection with her disappearance, the Onslow County Sheriff's Office said. "Mariah Woods was recovered by the Fayetteville Police Rescue Dive team," said Onslow County District Attorney, Ernie Lee during a news conference. An autopsy will be performed to determine the cause of death and to verify the girl's identity. Mariah was reported missing from her bedroom on Monday, which led to a massive multi-agency search that also included hundreds of volunteers. County deputies and the Federal Bureau of Investigation on Friday arrested Earl Kimrey, 32, who was held on bond of more than $1 million. Officials said additional charges are possible against Kimrey, who was held on several charges including concealing a death and obstruction of justice. Kimrey also faces burglary, felony larceny and possession of stolen property charges, a statement issued by the FBI and Onslow deputies earlier on Saturday said.
