SCOTTSBLUFF, Neb. – The Nebraska State Patrol says investigators have found the body of an 8-year-old Panhandle girl who in a remote area of Sioux County.

The patrol says the Kerra Wilson's stepfather, 32-year-old Salvador Carlos Lopez of Mitchell, has been arrested on suspicion of first-degree murder in her death.

Wilson was last seen a little before 8 a.m. Wednesday as her stepfather reportedly dropped her off at Mitchell Elementary School, but she wasn't reported missing until Wednesday afternoon because school officials didn't know anything was wrong.
