The mystery deepened Monday night when a body found in a Washington, D.C., park was tentatively identified as a man suspected of kidnapping Rudd weeks ago, according to D.C. Police Chief Cathy Lanier.
She was last seen with Kahlil Malik Tatum, 51, a janitor who worked in the shelter her family called home. When the girl failed to show up at school, city authorities reached out to Rudd's mother, who may have given Tatum initial permission to spend time with her daughter outside of the shelter, a law enforcement source said. There is still no sign of the girl.
