KENNETT, Mo. — A neighbor of missing 3-year-old Breeann Rodriguez has been charged in her death, authorities said Saturday.
Shawn Morgan, 43, of Ode Johnson Street in Senath, Mo., faces charges of first-degree murder, armed criminal action and tampering with physical evidence. Authorities said they believe Morgan suffocated Breeann, although as of Saturday evening, they were still searching for her body and her bicycle in an undisclosed part of the county.
The Dunklin County sheriff's office in Kennett took Morgan into custody Saturday morning.
The girl has been missing since Aug. 6. She was last seen riding her pink bicycle in front of her home in Senath, a town of 1,600 residents about 200 miles south of St. Louis. The search intensified last week when authorities found a set of training wheels, believed to be from the girl's bike, near where the family lived on Ode Johnson Street, a dead-end road.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Senath Marshal's office had offered a $45,000 reward for information on her disappearance. Authorities had been focusing on a white van that was seen in the neighborhood around the time Breeann went missing, but by Saturday morning they said it was no longer considered to be of interest.
The search for the girl involved several parties, including the Missouri Highway Patrol, the Department of Conservation and the FBI. Authorities said they received hundreds of tips from the public as the case unfolded.
