“We’re looking at multiple counts of capital murder, along with kidnapping in the first degree,” Tallapoosa County District Attorney Jeremy Duerr said during the news conference. Pascual-Reyes also faces three counts of capital murder and two counts of abuse of corpse, Abbett said in a news release. The sheriff did not say whether these people were being charged or held in connection with the alleged crimes at the residence. The sheriff further stated that “other people” were living in the residence. A forensics team is working to identify the corpses, he said, and how and when they died wasn’t immediately known. While searching Pascual-Reyes’ home, detectives found two decomposed bodies, the sheriff said. Jose Paulino Pascual-Reyes, 37, was arrested Monday about 25 miles away in Auburn on suspicion of first-degree kidnapping by US Marshals and police, the sheriff said, adding other agencies are also on the case. She had not been reported missing, the sheriff said. The 12-year-old had been given alcohol to stay “in a drugged state” and was assaulted in the “head area,” the complaint states. She had chewed off her restraints – breaking her braces – and her wrists show marks consistent with restraint, it states. The girl had been restrained to bed posts for about a week, according to a criminal complaint. Police got a call Monday morning from a driver about a 12-year-old girl walking alone along County Road 34 in Dadeville, Tallapoosa County Sheriff Jimmy Abbett said Tuesday at a news conference. A kidnapped girl’s escape in Alabama has led to the discovery of two decomposing bodies and the arrest of a man now facing murder and kidnapping charges, authorities said.
