DNA testing on the body revealed it was the little girl.
Investigators have yet to disclose how they were led to the area where the girl’s body was found.
Almost immediately, Florida police identified the girl’s mother, Brianna Williams, 27, as a person of interest in the child’s disappearance.
Police allege Williams stopped working with investigators soon after she reported her daughter missing. She was arrested weeks ago on charges of child neglect and giving false information to investigators during the search for her daughter. She has not been charged in connection with Taylor’s death.
Just prior to her arrest, Williamswas hospitalizedafter ingesting an unknown substance.
The mother, originally from Alabama, is a petty officer with the U.S. Navy, assigned to the Tactical Operations Center at Naval Air Station Jacksonville, Florida.
