After a months-long manhunt, police arrested a suspect in the death of an 8-year-old girl who had been reported missing before her body was found in March inside a central California home, authorities said Sunday.
Dhante Jackson was taken into custody Saturday in the San Francisco Bay Area city of Newark on suspicion of killing Sophia Mason, police and the California attorney general’s office said.
Jackson, 34, also faces murder and child abuse charges. It wasn’t known Sunday if he has an attorney who could speak on his behalf.“In my 20 years of law enforcement, this case is the most disturbing and horrific that I’ve seen,” the lieutenant said. Statements Johnson made to Hayward police prompted them to ask for assistance from the Merced Police Department, which served a search warrant in March at the house in Merced where Jackson lived, they said.
Sophia twice personally told social workers that her mother had choked and hit her, according to child-welfare documents uncovered by the Bay Area News Group.

Thirteen of those firefighters went out from their Upper West Side firehouse on the morning of September 11, twelve never to return. Talking to the survivors of that brotherhood, and to the wives and families of the dead, DAVID HALBERSTAM gets an intimate, deeply moving testament to all they sacrificed
