An eight-year-old girl has been found dead in a church just an hour after she was abducted by a sex offender.
The body of Charish Perriwinkle was found in the church in Jacksonvile, Florida after a frantic search on Saturday morning.
Registered Florida sex offender Donald Smith, 56, has been arrested over her death. He was released from jail less than three weeks ago and reportedly struck up a friendship with his victim's mother in Walmart.
Kidnapped then murdered: 8-year-old Charish Perriwinkle was taken from a Jacksonville WalMart store last night by a sex offender. Less than an hour after she had gone missing her body was found in a nearby church
Donald Smith: He had been in and out of jail for more than 20 years and had to register as a sex offender in 1992. He was released from jail just three weeks ago
Investigators say that Smith befriended the child's mother and her three children in the store before then offering to take the girl to the store's McDonald's by the entrance.
She agreed to let Charish go with the man she had only just met whilst she took care of her other children and continued browsing the shelves.
Less than an hour later, Charish was dead.
The police search in Jacksonville began almost as soon as Charish went missing. Cops say her body was found at a church early on Saturday morning, in the Northside area of the city.
The suspect, Smith, was arrested by traffic cops who were on the lookout for his minivan. He was driving towards the interstate and looking to make a getaway.
Smith had been out of jail for just three weeks when he was caught.
Shopping trip: Charish was with her mother and two siblings at this WalMart store in Jacksonville when Donald Smith befriended her and asked if she wanted to walk with him to McDonalds
Looking for a victim: Donald Smith, 56, had only been released from jail three weeks ago. He befriended the child's mother in Walmart and was captured on CCTV leaving the store with her
'We located the body of Charish Perriwinkle,' Officer Shannon Hartley said holding back tears. 'It's a very difficult time, obviously, for everyone involved.'
'Hug your children closely right now and know where they're at,' Officer Hartley said. 'Keep them close.'
Detectives say that within 30 minutes of Charish's mom realizing she had left the store with the man, police were called.
The Florida Department of Law Enforcement issued a statewide Amber Alert.
Overnight, cops received a lead that took them to the church where the body was found.
Getaway vehicle: Smith was reportedly driving a 1998 white Dodge van
Found: Charish Lilly Perriwinkle's body was found early this morning at Highlands Church in Jacksonville, Florida
Living with momr: Donald Smith lived with his mother on Segovia Avenue in Jacksonville since his release from jail on 31st May
Smith has been a registered sex offender since 1992 and was only been released from jail three weeks ago after being held on charges of intentional child abuse and impersonating a public employee.
He has also served prison time for attempted kidnapping and lewd and lascivious assault on children.
The first time he attempted to lure a 13-year-old girl into his van and chased her as she ran away.
The second time Smith tried to lure two girls into his van with pornographic magazines.
After his release, neighbors said Smith lived with his mother at her home.
What kind of mother would let her young daughter go off with some old guy she doesn't even know? SMH
the mother must have some type of mental illness. i can't imagine a parent allowing a stranger to take off with their kid.
Where are the racist comments at?
Troof. But that rat bas , kid-hunting freak needs to die.... painfully.
keep it classy, creep dawg.
word. crimes against children are the lowest of lows in my opinion. this dude is a born loser who doesn't deserve to enjoy life. i can't believe he was let out of jail. there is no rehabilitating child predators.
That is the most stupid dumb ass mother Ive ever seen. Let your daughter walk off with a gottdayum stranger in a Walmart? What tha ? OMG how in stupid can you be!!!!!!! I aint keepin classy, this is crazier than the sex offender.
i knew the van would be white. dude has the stache to match too. he matches every stereotype.
Gonna go out on a limb and speculate there's no father in the home.
Time to cut the balls off.
What a stupid of a mother.
The mother should have her other children taken away from her. What a stupid .
Furthermore, this incident intensifies the ongoing debate as to whether a sexual predator has a treatable mental health disease -- and whether that should permit a release back out to society.
yup. i don't know why society hasn't taken mental illness seroius yet. we got people going to prison for half their lives for an drug addiction but pedo's are doing 1-5 years tops.
It enraged me how ing dumb the mother is....
Tragic that it takes something like this to put that monster away once and for all!
The mom may have mental issues but her behavior is not uncommon among low self esteemed single moms desperate for attention/affection from any man. So many of them welcome strangers into their children's lives in order to have their own needs met. Some get lucky, some don't, but all of their children will be affected.
i agree, we should chill with the victim blaming on mom and focus on the predator.
And the hunters like this sick prey on this scenario.
I've never understood this reasoning. How is not having balls going to stop someone who is compelled to abuse children to stop abusing children?
No testosterone=no sexual desire. Many countries offer chemical castration for sex offenders (sometimes voluntary)--they get an injection of a testosterone suppressant. It reduces fantasies, urges, compulsivity, etc, which, when your fantasies involve raping children, is a good thing.
Child abuse goes way beyond "sexual desire". It's a chronic psychosis that is based on violence. Violence isn't merely triggered by testosterone. It's not about sex.
Agreed. But it has been somewhat effective in reducing repeat offenses in countries where it's used. I did a quick google search and found a little science journal entry that mentions it. Anyway, it's an interesting debate.

I'm sure his prison time will go swimmingly

It's a classic case of white privilege..he was just using it...I have no doubts the mother in this case is a racist...this is typical racist behavior...she saw a nice white man who went on a mini charm offensive...she saw a white man who she thought had pride in his race and was the protector of white pride...so in her racist feel good moment she let her kid go...
think she would have let her kid go to a nice black man?
just keeping it 100
RIP to the little angel
Trill, what would the appropriate sentence be for this guy? Quadruple death penalty? Anything else would be a victory for white crime.
