Body found in creek believed to be missing 4-year-old Utah girl

Anndine Jones was last seen near her home near Aneth and Montezuma Creek in the southeastern corner of Utah. Footprints believed to be hers were seen along McElmo Creek; her body was found by volunteers searching the creek north of Aneth on Wednesday evening.

"This has been a difficult time for everyone involved,” said Navajo Police Chief Phillip Francisco in a prepared statement. “At this time, we ask for the public's patience and understanding. Details will be limited in the forthcoming days as the investigation continues.”
