What British media have dubbed the “America’s Madeleine McCann” case, 6-yr-old Isabel Celis went missing on 20th of April 2012.
The little girl’s remains were found last month in Pima County, Arizona.
Police have confirmed that DNA results show they are that of the missing little girl.
Authorities likening the case to the that of the disappearance of three-year-old Madeleine McCann, who vanished while on holiday with her parents in Praia da Luz, Portugal, on 3 May 2007.
Tucson Police released the following statement on Facebook:
“The Tucson Police Department will continue to actively pursue those responsible for any involvement in Isabel’s disappearance and death, and will pursue prosecution to the highest level possible.
“Releasing further details at this time could have unintended consequences. As we move forward in our investigation, we will release additional details as they become available.
“Although this confirmation may provide some degree of closure, this also sadly ends the hope of bringing Isabel home safely to her family.”
