Around 10:45 a.m. on May 11, her body was found on the floor of a vacant apartment building less than a mile from her home, near Hamlin and Madison.

The Cook County Medical Examiner's office initially could not confirm the girl's identity, due to the condition of her body. Dental records later confirmed the body was Sadaria's.

Police confirmed Area North detectives were conducting a death investigation. An autopsy performed on May 12 was inconclusive, pending further investigation, according to the Cook County Medical Examiner's office.

Anyone with information about Davis' death should call Area North detectives at 312-744-8266.
