Louisville, Kentucky: 4-year-old Serenity Ann McKinney was last seen December 24, 2020 but just reported missing earlier this month after family became increasingly concerned by the passage of time.

According to WDRB, Serenity's grandparents were the ones that finally reported her missing after her mother, Catherine McKinney cut off contact between them.

At the time, Captain Blake Lisby of the Shelby County Sheriff's Office in Kentucky said, "[McKinney] has still not produced Serenity for us and has not cooperated with us up to this point in the investigation. [She's] refusing to speak with us about the whereabouts of her daughter."

Shortly thereafter, McKinney, 21, and her boyfriend, Dakota Hill, 26, were arrested and booked into the Thomas County Sheriff's Office Jail in Kansas on charges of custodial interference.

On Friday, February 18, Kentucky State Police announced the recovery of Serenity's body from a wooded area near the Jefferson County- Bullitt County line. An autopsy was scheduled for Saturday.

McKinney and Hill have been extradited to the Shelby County Detention Center in Kentucky and have now been charged with murder and abuses of a corpse.

Police have yet to release information concerning how or when Serenity died and any possible motive.

Teaching children from before they can walk that people are ‘inherently good’ is not only dangerous, but it also contradicts Biblical truth (Jer. 17:9, Romans 8, etc).

I don’t like writing stories about parents inflicting atrocities on their own children, but if we continue as a society to refuse to acknowledge that these things happen and that they are not nearly as uncommon as we would like to think, then we’ll never move to the next step of recognizing the reality of ritual abuse, and doing something about it.
