Lovell’s father announced her death on a Facebook post made Saturday evening. “(I’m devastated) to learn that my daughter has been found dead!” he wrote. “I’m so in shock I know nothing more to say, I’m broken!” Authorities had been conducting a frantic search, as the 13-year-old was without prescription medicine needed to prevent organ failure after a liver transplant, WSHV reported. The search expanded in the days after Lovell was first reported missing, with police from six agencies joining the FBI’s Child Abduction Rapid Deployment Team and 1,000 members of the Virginia Tech Corps of Cadets to search for the girl. h/t inquisitr
