An Horry County jury found Vartasha McCollough-White guilty Friday of homicide by child abuse, unlawful neglect of a child and inflicting great bodily harm on a child. The jury deliberated for four hours. Judge Edward Cottingham sentenced her shortly afterward.

If I remember correctly, the video cameras showed the mother going in alone. That's why she was suspected right away.
I thought that too dimples...not many girls wear black sneakers. I also did some searching and could not find a missing child matching Kynande's description for NJ. Also...once a body decompses to bones, how can LE determine a time of death beyond that? I think a DNA test would be in order from the mother. Midnight, have you contacted authorities yet on this one? This appears to be too close of match to be ignored by LE.I think you are definately on to something, there aren't many little girls that do wear black sneakers. Also my daughter is on the small side and she is 4 1/2 and wears a size 9-9 1/2 . So those shoes are definately the size of a 3-4 yr old. Also the piece of shirt does look like alot of Fubu shirts I have seen. I think for sure this is a great possibility, I would like to know if her parents visited that area in the days prior to the missing report. I think you should report it because it does match up majorly. Great Great find, I am praying for an answer, so this little girl can have peace.
Great Job,
Kel
