The body of a child found in Richardson, Texas was on Tuesday identified as that of Sherin Mathews, the three-year-old Indian girl reported missing from outside her home two weeks ago, after her father, Wesley Mathews, was arrested for the second time and charged with causing injury to a child. The Dallas County Medical Examiner identified the child’s body, which was found on Sunday, by using dental records, police said. “It was not what he had told us earlier,” Sergeant Kevin Perlich of Richardson police told reporters. Wesley and his wife Sini Mathews, who are from Kerala, had adopted Sherin in Nalanda, Bihar. Wesley initially told police he sent Sherin out of the house to stand in an alley as punishment.
