418: Child Leads Police To 2 Bodies At Kidnappers Home | True Crime Podcast

Investigators found two decomposing bodies after a child walked alone, and a 37-year-old man was arrested in their deaths.



According to Tallapoosa County Sheriff Jimmy Abbett, deputies got a call Monday, Aug. 1, just before 8:30 p.m. about a 12-year-old girl walking down the road.



Jose Reyes was initially taken into custody for first-degree kidnapping by authorities. WSFA-TV reports the child was taken to the hospital.



According to court documents obtained by WSFA, the child had been tied to bedposts for a week, assaulted, and forced to drink alcohol. She escaped by chewing through her restraints. During his press conference, Abbett said the 12-year-old is safe.



Two decomposed bodies were found at Reyes' home in the 3500 block of County Road 34, Abbett said. Their bodies have been sent to the Alabama Department of Forensic Sciences for autopsies and identification, according to Abbett.



It wasn't clear how the 12-year-old girl was related to the suspect.



Reyes was also reportedly charged with capital murder in addition to first-degree kidnapping. Currently, he's in Tallapoosa County awaiting bond hearing.
