Police found the body of the Hispanic female at approximately 3:35 p.m. CT, he added.
CNN affiliate WFAA identified the missing girl as Jasmen Gonzalez. She and her parents are from Oklahoma City and were visiting relatives, the station reported.
She was described by WFAA as Hispanic, 4 feet 3 inches tall, 90 pounds with long brown hair.
“There’s a lot of investigative work that still has to be done. We’ll take it one step at a time … We’ll come to a resolution,” Mitchell told reporters.
