FBI joins search for 8-year-old Nebraska girl
The FBI has joined local and state law officers in trying to find an 8-year-old girl who was last seen in the parking lot of her Nebraska Panhandle school.
Authorities say Kerra Wilson has been missing since 8 a.m. Wednesday, when she was dropped off at Mitchell Elementary School. The Nebraska State Patrol office in Scottsbluff said late Thursday morning that Kerra hasn't been found, despite the efforts of family, friends and several law enforcement agencies.
The search has widened to the rural areas of Scotts Bluff County and includes aircraft.
Patrol investigator Monica Bartling says the girl's parents and stepfather have been interviewed. Bartling says an Amber Alert hasn't been issued because the patrol has no information that the girl's been abducted.

8-year-old western Nebraska girl still missing
Authorities say an 8-year-old western Nebraska girl who has been missing since Wednesday morning still hasn't been found.
Kerra Wilson was last seen a little before 8 a.m. as her stepfather dropped her off at Mitchell Elementary School in the Panhandle city of Mitchell.
A woman who answered the phone at the Nebraska State Patrol Scottsbluff office early Friday morning said Kerra has not been found and that the search is continuing. The woman says a briefing scheduled for 9 a.m. MDT in Scottsbluff will provide updated details on the search. The woman would not give her name, only her badge number.
Mitchell Elementary School principal Kirk Kuxhausen said Thursday that security cameras didn't record any picture of Kerra inside the building or on the playground.

Body of 8-Year-Old Girl Found Near Mitchell
The Nebraska State Patrol confirms the body of 8-year-old Kerra Wilson has been found on a ranch north of Mitchell, Nebraska in Sioux County.

Troopers say an autopsy will be performed. They can not say at this time if there is any evidence that a sexual assault occurred.
Officials haven't said if there are any other suspects.

Judge denies bail for stepdad
A Nebraska State Patrol investigator said in court documents that Lopez acknowledged killing his stepdaughter, and Sioux County Attorney Adam Edmund said the request that Lopez be denied bail was based on those statements and evidence gathered in the case.
Edmund also noted that children and witnesses still live in the Lopez household and that Lopez had ties to Mexico, including a father who lives there.
Lopez is charged with first-degree murder in the death of Kerra Wilson, who was reported missing by her grandmother Wednesday after she did not show up for school. Her body was found on a ranch north of Mitchell on Thursday.
The criminal complaint against Lopez says Kerra died on Wednesday.
Edmund would not comment on the case.
During Monday's hearing, Lopez said his name was Salvador Carl Lopez, correcting the criminal complaint that identified him as Salvador Carlos Lopez. His voice faltered on the first “yes” he gave to Judge Russell Harford when Harford asked if he understood that he was charged with first-degree murder.
Lopez told the judge he understood that he could face the death penalty. Harford also repeatedly asked and had Lopez state that he understood that he had a right to an attorney and a right to a preliminary hearing. Lopez said he did not want an attorney and waived a preliminary hearing.
His next court appearance will be in Sioux County District Court.

Funeral for slain Nebraska girl
Funeral services were held Thursday for an 8-year-old girl found dead last week.
Hundreds attended the funeral at the Scotts Bluff County Event Center for Kerra Wilson, who died Sept. 21.

Laura Shelby, whose daughter, Jasmine, is a stepsister to Kerra Wilson, said Jasmine and her other two daughters “miss Kerra terribly.”
Shelby said Kerra liked the color blue and loved math class. She said she also loved to draw, sing and make jokes.
“She was a loving, caring, beautiful girl with a big heart and was fun to be around,” Shelby said.

Stepfather Charged with Murder Will Represent Himself
A Scottsbluff man has waived his preliminary hearing after being charged in the death of his 8-year-old stepdaughter, who police say he admitted to killing. He has also decided to represent himself without an attorney.
Thirty-two-year-old Salvador Carlos Lopez appeared Monday in Sioux County Court on first-degree premeditated murder charges in the death of Kerra Wilson. Investigators found Kerra's body Thursday evening in a remote area of Sioux County after a rancher reported seeing something suspicious.
Lopez allegedly admitted to police Friday that he murdered Kerra, court documents show.
Kerra was reported missing by her family just before 3 p.m. Wednesday. She was last seen Tuesday evening, when she was with her grandparents.
Lopez told police that he dropped Kerra off at school Wednesday morning, but police say that after reviewing surveillance video from school cameras and interviewing school staff and classmates, it's clear the little girl was never there.
"The cooperation of the staff of Mitchell Elementary was key in determining that Kerra never made it to school on Wednesday," Lt. Bartling of the Nebraska State Patrol said. "This has been a very difficult time for everyone involved and I want to thank the school staff, community volunteers and local law enforcement for their efforts and cooperation during this very difficult time."
"We were hoping to bring Kerra safely home to her family; sadly we weren't able to do that," Lt. Bartling said. "We will continue gathering evidence in this case and work with the Sioux County Attorney to prosecute Salvador Lopez to the fullest extent of the law."
