The city of North Port’s police chief says he’s awaiting autopsy results before revealing how six year old Coralrose Fullwood died. The child’s body was discovered Sunday around noon – about six hours after her parents reported her missing.

Police Chief Terry Lewis says about 30 officers are working around the clock to find out who killed Coralrose Fullwood. He says they’ve received about 20 leads –but no arrest in imminent. Until an arrest is made, he urges caution.
