The body of a female found late Monday in a recycling container in Clayton, N.J. has been “preliminarily determined” to be that of missing 12-year-old girl Autumn Pasquale, police said.

Autumn was last seen around 12:30 p.m. on Saturday leaving her Clayton home while riding a white BMX bike to a friend’s house. The girl’s parents called police after they say she never made it to that friend’s house.

Hundreds of volunteers took part in the search effort, including the Clayton Police Department, Child Abduction Response Team, New Jersey State Police, the FBI and officers from 40 other police departments.
