Police are searching for four-month-old
Zaylee Grace Fryar. She was last seen with her mother, Shauna Marie
Fryar, on Sunday, May 1 at their home in Millersville.
Metro police said the body found in the
Cumberland River on Saturday night has been identified through
fingerprints as 28-year-old Shauna Marie Fryar. Fryar was reported
missing to Millersville Police on Thursday, May 5 by her husband.
The woman's body was spotted by someone on
the Shelby Street Pedestrian Bridge who called 911 on Saturday night.
Dive teams recovered the body.

Police said there was no trauma to her body
that suggested the cause of death, which remains undetermined. Police
have also not determined whether Shauna died before entering the water.
An autopsy is underway.
Metro police have been checking the area
around the Cumberland River for Zaylee, though they said there is no
evidence at this point that she is in the water.
"If we get more information then we may put
boats in, but right now its just aerial and if it gets down to the point
where we need to use divers we will," said Metro Police Lt. Steven
Lewis.
Millersville police had originally issued an
endangered child alert for Zaylee on Monday. It was upgraded on Tuesday
after police identified Shauna's body.
Fryar's husband, who is not Zaylee's father,
told Millersville Police that he left their apartment around 9 p.m.
Sunday, May 1, to go to the store. When he returned, his wife and Zaylee
were gone, although her vehicle, cell phone, wallet and the child's
diaper bag were still at the residence. He told police it wasn't unusual
for her to be gone for days on end.
Detectives have confirmed that Fryar and the child were fine on Saturday, April 30, when they visited a relative in Pegram.
Zaylee has black hair and brown eyes and weighs 12 pounds. She also has a quarter size brown birthmark on her right leg.
Police said Fryar has a history of drug
addiction, and that she may have been trying to obtain illegal drugs at
around the time she was last seen.
In all, police said Fryar had seven children,
including Zaylee, ranging in age from four months to 12-years who live
with other relatives.
At this point, investigators said everyone is
a suspect until they can figure out if they're dealing with an accident
or foul play.
Zaylee's father was incarcerated in the Robertson County Jail at the time mother and daughter disappeared.
