CANTON - Authorities say autopsy results show that a missing Georgia girl whose body was found in a trash container was beaten, stabbed and sexually assaulted.
Georgia Bureau of Investigation Director Vernon Keenan released the autopsy results at a news conference Tuesday morning in the north Georgia town of Canton, where 7-year-old Jorelys Rivera's body had been found.
Police say Jorelys was last seen around 5 p.m. Friday at the River Ridge apartments in Canton, about 40 miles north of Atlanta.
Keenan called the crime a ``very horrific and brutal murder.'' No suspects are in custody.
