The search for a 10-year-old Wisconsin girl was halted after her lifeless body was located near her Baraboo home on Tuesday morning, hours after she vanished.
Kodie Dutcher was said to be suicidal and having consumed a large number of pills before leaving her home on Monday afternoon. She left behind her cellphone and shoes. A final note was also found in her room: “Mom, I love you, but I can’t do it. Bye.”
The girl was found dead in a field that is less than a mile from her family home: “Officers immediately searched the area around the residence. Additional assistance from Baraboo Fire Department and Wisconsin Dells K-9 expanded the search area on foot,” police said.
It remains unclear why Dutcher was attempting suicide before her disappearance.
