Search Continues for Missing Mississippi 3-Year-Old After Mother's Body Found in Alabama

Multi-agency teams from Mississippi and Alabama continue searching for 3-year-old Janae McGill after her mother was found dead in suspicious circumstances, officials said.

  • Authorities discovered the body of 32-year-old Shardee McGill on Thursday morning in a shallow water location close to the town of Epes, Alabama.
  • Shardee McGill and her young daughter Janae, age three, were reported missing on Monday morning after leaving their Jackson residence the previous evening in a 2017 Chevrolet Equinox.
  • The vehicle was recovered Tuesday in Epes, Alabama, and local, state, and federal agencies are conducting a multi-agency search for Janae, whose current situation is unknown.
  • Sheriff Tyree Jones described Shardee's death as suspicious, expressed huge concern for Janae's safety, and said he was unsure if an Amber Alert qualified for the case.
  • Jonathan McGill, husband and father, was detained for questioning but later released, while authorities maintain no suspects and continue searching for Janae.
