Sherin Mathews's body identified

The body found in a culvert Sunday morning has been identified as Sherin Mathews, the 3-year-old Richardson girl missing since Oct. 7, wfaa.com reported
The Dallas County medical examiner confirmed the identity with dental records. A cause of death was still pending.
Her body was found Sunday at about 11 a.m. in a culvert underground during a search operation in the area of Spring Valley and Bowser Road.
Mathews disappeared in the early morning of Oct. 7. Her adoptive father, Wesley Mathews, initially told police he put her outside their home at 3 a.m. for not drinking her milk. He changed his story weeks later, saying she choked on milk in the garage.
"She was coughing and her breathing slowed," an arrest warrant reads. "Eventually, Wesley Mathews no longer felt a pulse on the child and believed she had died."
Mathews then admitted to police that he removed the body from the home, the warrant reads.
Wesley is believed to be the last person to see the child. He was arrested and charged with felony endangerment to a child and was placed on electronic ankle monitoring and surrendered his passport as a condition of making bond on Oct. 9 but later bonded out.
