Investigators pull a cement block believed to have Nevaeh's body inside from the River Raisin Thursday, June 4.
MONROE, Mich. (AP) - An apartment complex where a 5-year-old Monroe girl lived and last was seen is quiet as family and friends await details of the grim discovery of a child's body along a nearby river.
The Wayne County medical examiner's office is conducting an autopsy Friday on the body found by anglers Thursday beneath cement along the banks of the River Raisin in Monroe County's Raisinville Township.
The examination could determine if the body is that of Nevaeh Buchanan.
The anglers noticed a bad smell and saw what appeared to be skin after chipping away at the cement.
The body was found about 7 miles from Nevaeh's home. She last was seen May 24 in a parking lot of her apartment complex.
Authorities have scheduled a news conference Friday morning.
