A body was found in Overland Park, Kansas, on Tuesday night—now police are investigating whether it’s missing 18-year-old woman Mikayla L. Norris.
Earlier on Tuesday, Dec. 19, the Overland Park Police department posted an urgent news release asking for the public’s help in locating Norris.
Police later did find a body of a woman at the 8500 block near the location mentioned in the tipoff. The body was found in a wooded area.
Authorities also said the description of the body matches Norris but—as of writing—the identification has not been fully confirmed yet.
According to the Kansas City Police Department, the man seemed to have died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
Authorities are now investigating whether the two deaths are a possible murder-suicide, KMBC reports.
Photos posted by Kirkwood show a screenshot of Lee’s Facebook profile—which has since been deleted— where he ranted about how he murdered a caucasian girl. The photos of Lee match the ones posted by police.
According to the Kansas City Star, the girls father, Mike Norris posted on Facebook Wednesday morning: “We 100% believe the fb (Facebook) mob everyone created led to her abductor taking his own life and post out on social media so our baby girl’s body could be found in a timely manner!”
