15-year-old girl found dead at Pioneer High School
This incident came just days after Adriana Davidson, a 15-year-old girl, who had been missing for days, was found dead on the grounds of Pioneer High School in Ann Arbor, where she was last seen. Davidson was reported missing on Saturday, January 28 after she failed to return home from school on Friday. At that time, Police stated that they are not looking for any suspect as it appeared Davidson was alone when she died, according to ABC 7 Chicago.
A student reportedly discovered her mobile phone that afternoon on the high school tennis courts and delivered it to Davidson's closest friend. The friend revealed that Davidson came to school on Friday morning but soon left as she was not feeling well. The video then shows she came back to school again around noon. However, she didn’t enter the school and this was the last time she was seen alive. The death of young Davidson has left her family devastated.
"She is super super smart, like disgusting smart. She was 7 years old with cardboard and scissors building arms. She just has this unconditional love for animals, and she has her cat here and I know she misses them like we miss her and ... we just, we are thankful for everyone who is sharing," her brother Anthony Lopez told ABC 7 before her body was found. Davidson’s father said he last heard from Adriana Davidson when she left for school at Pioneer High School in Ann Arbor Friday morning. "We're going on what, day two now? This is not my daughter," John Davidson said.
