The toddler who went missing after a ride-share driver claimed her family sold her for $10,000 has been found dead in a Pennsylvania nature park, authorities said.
The Allegheny County Police Department and Indiana County District Attorney Patrick Dougherty announced Tuesday night that the body of 1-year-old Nalani Johnson, who went missing on Saturday, had been found.
An Amber Alert was issued Saturday after 25-year-old ride-share driver Sharena Nancy drove off with Nalani still in her car seat, the girl's father, 21-year-old Paul Johnson, told police. Nancy initially told investigators during an interview that Johnson"sold" his daughter to an unnamed individual for $10,000 and gave her instructions to drop the child off to a woman who would"flag" her down along U.S. Route 22, according to a criminal complaint filed by the police department on Saturday.
Although Nancy's vehicle had Uber and Lyft stickers on it, she was not acting in the capacity of a ride-share driver at the time of Nalani's disappearance, McDonough said. Spokespeople for Uber and Lyft confirmed to ABC News that Nancy did not take any rides that day. In addition, Nancy's account with Lyft has been deactivated, the company's spokesman said.
