No new information in Woonsocket girl's death

Authorities would not release more information today regarding the death of 8-year-old Savannah Smith, the Woonsocket second grader whose body was discovered yesterday in a wooden area in Cranston.

Authorities in Cranston, Woonsocket and at the attorney general's office refused to comment today on the girl's death and the case in general.

Smith's neighbor, Joshua Davis, 20, of 564 Coe St., Woonsocket, was arrested yesterday for the murder. Prosecutors promised "the evidence at the bail hearing will be overwhelming" against Davis, though they did not release any details about the evidence today.
