Bella was staying at her father’s house, which he shared with Landon at the time.
Following Michael’s admission, a missing person investigation was launched, which involved looking through the house, the neighborhood, and other potential hiding places for kids.
“We searched the entire house for this little girl,” Barnett said in court.
During the hunt, Harahan police sent a ping on Landon’s phone, which led them to a street in the vicinity. Less than two streets away, on Bella’s mother’s home, a white pail containing the girl’s body was found.
