Preliminary report: Jordyn Dumont died from blunt force trauma

An initial autopsy report released Thursday shows 3-year-old Jordyn Dumont died from blunt force trauma, according to Gaston Co. Police.

Police declined to provide further details on the cause of death other than to say blunt force trauma.

Authorities discovered Jordyn's body near her home less than a day and a half after she was reported missing. Her mother's boyfriend, William Joseph McCullen, 25, has been charged with first degree murder and is being held without bond.

On Wednesday, Gaston County Police released audio from the 911 call made the day the 3-year-old went missing. 

Listen to the 911 call

Call records released by police show Jordyn's  biological father, concerned for her well-being, had officers check in on his daughter twice in one month.

Detectives in charge of the investigation looked into the Bessemer City home's call history. Jordyn's biological father called police twice, once on June 2 and once on June 6, concerned for her welfare. Gaston Co. Police followed up both times and found "no issues."

DHHS says it conducted five unannounced home visits between March 18 and May 19, 2016 to Jordyn’s home and found no evidence the children lacked appropriate supervision or were impacted by parental substance abuse.
