The body of 5-year-old Janaya Makayia Thompson, of Gulfport, was found this morning inside the bathroom of an abandoned mobile home on Whitney Drive, authorities have confirmed.

The girl was missing for about 12 hours before her body was found with the aid of a search dog at about 8:45 a.m. today.

Harrison County Coroner Gary Hargrove said an autopsy is scheduled for later today.

“I expect a result later this evening, but I won’t release anything until I’m satisfied the family is aware of what we found,” Hargrove said.

The FBI’s emergency response team crime scene unit is headed down to assist Gulfport authorities “to go over evidence and lend a hand,” Hargrove said.

At approximately 8:29 p.m. Wednesday, the Gulfport Police Department responded to The Palms Apartments located at 10471 Three Rivers Rd. in reference to a report of a missing child.

Thompson was last seen in the parking lot near her family’s first-floor apartment, the family reported to police.

Hargrove said one of the canines from Gulf Coast Search & Rescue was given the scent of the young girl’s clothing.

“They started to search near the apartments when the dog began to track, and it led up to the trailer,” he said.

The Whitney Drive mobile home is located just north of their apartment complex.

Police Chief Leonard Papania had said his department was utilizing all resources to locate the child, including the Gulfport Fire Department, Gulf Coast Search and Rescue, the Harrison County Sheriff’s Department Air Unit, and neighboring residents of the apartment.

A group of volunteers gathered Wednesday night to lend a hand.

“This tragedy has rocked the foundation of our community,” Gulfport Mayor Billy Hewes said. “We have confidence in the compassion and professionalism of our police officers, and will devote all resources at our disposal to the solving of this crime.

“We ask our community support the efforts of this investigation and for the continued prayers for this family,” he said.

No other details are being released at this time.

Anyone with any information on this incident is urged to contact the Gulfport Police Department at 228-868-5959.

A Jessamine County woman said she was the target of a recent scam.

She said someone posing as an officer called her Thursday night stating that she failed to report for jury duty and unless she paid a fine she would be arrested.

“They gave very specific information, times, dates, names badge numbers, the judge’s signature on the warrant,” Dora Johnson said.

Very convincing information but Johnson said she never received a summons for jury duty and said she couldn’t pay the fine.

“I kind of thought I’m going to jail for something I didn’t do,” she said. “I asked him what would happen if you came to arrest me and my daughter was here by herself and he said she’d go to foster care.”

She made some calls to see if this was all true including one to Jessamine County Circuit Clerk Doug Fain.

“The day she spoke of first was not a trial and secondly she’s not on the panel, so I knew it was a scam the second I heard about it,” Fain said.

Fain said you will get a summons in the mail for jury duty and not a call.

His advice is to not give out personal information or money and contact local law enforcement if you get the scam artist’s number.

A Catawba County man was sentenced to no less than 19 years behind bars for producing and possessing child pornography and sex offenses against a child.

Bruce Leroy Donald, now 42, of Newton, was initially prosecuted and convicted by the federal government for production of child pornography, one count of felony offense involving a minor committed by a registered sex offender and possession of child pornography back in November 2012. He was sentenced to 10 years.

The Catawba County District Attorney’s Office prosecuted Donald in connection with the same incident. Donald took a plea deal on the 27 charges with a sentence of no less than 230 months, and no more than 285 months. This sentence will be served concurrently to the federal sentence.

Donald took a plea on the charges of felony statutory sex offense of a person 13, 14, or 15 years of age, felony second-degree forcible sex offense, 10 counts of third-degree sexual exploitation of a minor, five counts of felony breaking and entering, seven counts of felony larceny and possession of stolen goods.

Sources tell NBC Charlotte Donald and a friend were stealing lawn equipment for their lawn care business. That’s what initially led Newton Police to execute a search warrant at Donald’s home. Further, we’re told that’s when one of the officers noticed a pornographic image that depicted a child in plain view. A second search warrant of the home was executed at Donald’s home related to child pornography.

Police told NBC Charlotte back in 2012 that Donald possessed hundreds of child pornographic images. One of the victims in the photos was identified by police and interviewed, leading officers to file child sex assault-related charges on Donald. Donald photographed the abuse of the boy, authorities say, who was repeatedly sexually assaulted between 2007 and 2008.

At the time of all the offenses, officials say Donald was a registered sex offender.
