RICHARDSON, Texas (KTRK) --
A body has been found in the search for a missing 3-year-old girl.
Sherin Mathews had not been seen in two weeks after police said her father, Wesley Mathews, left her outside for not drinking her milk.
Police said he claimed she was placed near a tree in alleyway where coyotes were known to roam. When he returned for his daughter 15 minutes later, he said he could not find Sherin.
Richardson Police said a positive identification has not been made, but they believe it is the body of Mathews. A cause of death also has not been identified.
Police are waiting for the FBI Evidence Recovery Team to respond.
Wesley has been charged with child endangerment and is now out of jail wearing an ankle monitor.

He put her outside for "not drinking her milk?" I think something happened that so enraged her father that he (accidentally) killed her. I think he did put her outside, but not for not drinking her milk. I think he put her body outside hoping that coyotes would drag it off, that's what I think.

The Richardson Police Department said on October 12 that one of the Mathews' vehicles had left the residence the morning Sherin went missing, between 4 and 5 a.m., between the time Mathews said Sherin disappeared and the time he called police."
