Jessica Lunsford Found Dead After Month Long Search

The body of a 9-year-old Florida girl was found Saturday, more than three weeks after she disappeared from her bedroom.
Citrus County Sheriff Jeff Dawsy said Jessica Lunsford's body was found during an overnight search in a densely wooded area, only about 150 yards away from the home the girl shared with her father and grandparents.The discovery comes a day after officials said a registered sex offender confessed to kidnapping and killing the girl.Dawsy said four other people are being charged in connection with the case. He said three are charged with obstruction for failing to notify police when the suspect, John Couey, allegedly told them he had committed a crime. A fourth faced an unrelated child support charge."We're en route to bring him back home," said Dawsy, who added that he wants Couey to face the death penalty. "This guy is not a quality person, by any means. ... He's truly a piece of trash."
