17-Year-Old Held in Murder, Assault of Wash. Girl, 6

A week after 6-year-old Washington state girl Jenise Wright went missing, authorities have charged a 17-year-old male who lived in her neighborhood with her murder and sexual assault, reports the Seattle Times. The teenager isn't yet being named, but faces charges including second-degree murder, first-degree manslaughter, and child rape. "There's a lot of grief," says a sheriff's spokesman. The suspect was identified via forensic evidence, and as KOMO notes, dozens of residents of the trailer park in which Jenise lived voluntarily submitted DNA samples. She was found dead in a nearby wooded area earlier this week. (More Jenise Wright stories.)
