Body of missing Canton girl found in dumpster
Submitted by 11Alive News Staff
Monday, December 5th, 2011, 2:52pm

CANTON, Ga. -- The body of a 7-year-old girl who had been missing since Friday was found Monday afternoon in a dumpster from her apartment complex.

GBI Director Vernon Keenan said it appears Jorelys Rivera was severely beaten and sexually assaulted.

"This is going to be a very horrendous crime," Keenan said shortly after 2 p.m. Monday. "I'm convinced of that after observing the body."

Keenan said the dumpster where the girl's body was found was heavily compacted and had not been searched before. Early Monday afternoon, police moved the dumpster from the River Ridge Apartments to a field off Reinhardt College Parkway, so they could sift through its contents.

I totally agree with you Pi. The guy who killed my daughter only served 8 years for her death, but 2 years after getting out, he was sent back to prison for selling drugs and weapons and served 12-1/2 years.

Rest in Peace, Jorelys.

The scene of the murder may have been an unlocked apartment at the River Ridge apartment complex where Jorelys lived.

Investigators believe Jorelys was abducted near the River Ridge playground, taken to a vacant apartment within the complex, assaulted and murdered, and then tossed in the dumpster.

"We have found evidence in [the vacant apartment] we believe is blood," said Keenan. "We are awaiting results of the investigation. The lab worked all night long."

CANTON, Ga. -- A 20-year-old Canton man has been charged with the murder of 7-year-old Jorelys Rivera.

GBI Director Vernon Keenan said Ryan Brunn was a maintenance worker at the River Ridge Apartment complex, where Jorelys lived.

A day earlier, Keenan said investigators felt "very strongly" that Jorelys' killer either lives in her apartment complex or had ready access to it.

Neighbors told 11Alive's Duffie Dixon that Brunn had only recently been hired.

Thanks, Ann for the updates.

This video is a tearjerker. No children should have to be going through this - besides Jorelys' family, her friends will never be the same.

Watch at 31-32 seconds where one little boy pats his buddy on the shoulder to console him. I lost it right there. Such a grown-up action.
