Donald James Smith is charged with the murder of an eight-year-old girl after her body is found near a Jacksonville church. A registered sex offender recently released from jail has been charged with murder over the death of an eight-year-old girl abducted while shopping with her mother.
He took them to the store, then told the girl's mother he would buy them a snack outside. Authorities said Smith then walked out with the little girl.
Authorities had put out an Amber Alert with details of Smith's van on Saturday, hours after the missing girl's mother called Smith, 56, was taken into custody after an officer recognised his vehicle on Interstate 95 and he was pulled over.

He has been a registered sex offender since a conviction in Duval County for attempted kidnapping and selling obscene materials. He has been arrested several times since then, most recently in on a charge of child abuse after making obscene phone calls to a year-old girl.
Smith pleaded guilty to impersonating a social worker with the Florida Department of Children and Familes where he claimed to be investigating the girl's family. He was released from jail on May 31 and met with police on Friday morning when officers visited to check his address, as required by state law.
