‘Kidnapped’ girl, 1, found dead in nature park after ‘being snatched by Uber driver and sold for £8,000’
A MISSING girl, one, has been found dead after being “snatched by an Uber driver and sold for £8,000”.
Little Nalani Johnson’s body was discovered Tuesday afternoon at Pine Ridge Park — three days after her dad claimed rideshare driver Sharena Islam Nancy drove off with the tot in Pennsylvania.
Cops have not released details about the toddler’s death, or what led them to search that specific area.
Nancy, 25, is still being held on a kidnapping charge and cops said they believe a woman “currently in custody” was involved.
She was in an “intermittent romantic relationship” with the girl’s father Paul Johnson, according to CNN.
Johnson reportedly claimed he, his daughter and a pal spent several hours with Nancy the day Nalani went missing.
‘HE SOLD HER’
Nancy was driving them all when they ended up having a row and he got out, he claims.
But when he went to get his daughter from the car she drove off with her, Johnson says.
He reportedly called cops and told them his child was taken by a car with an Uber sticker in the window, sparking a massive manhunt.
But when Nancy was arrested she hit back, telling cops Johnson instructed her to deliver the child to another woman because he had “sold” his daughter for £8,000.
Johnson showed her a photo of a black woman she was supposed to meet near a petrol station, she claims.
She said she did as asked, meeting the woman and handing over the girl.

Cops said they have since found no evidence to back up the driver’s claims.
But there could still be additional arrests, police said, according to the report by Action News 4.
Indiana County District Attorney Patrick Dougherty is quoted as saying: “Make no mistake, we are working very hard to ensure the individuals involved are brought to justice.”
