Friday afternoon's press conference, led by Orange County Sheriff John Mina, disclosed that detectives are "confident" in the belief that the girl is deceased, allegedly killed by her mother's boyfriend, Stephan Sterns. SKYFOX coverage showed a multi-agency search underway in the area, involving St. Cloud police, Kissimmee police, the Orange County Sheriff's Office, and the Osceola County Sheriff's Office.
