A 12-year-old girl who was held captive for a week in a mobilehome with what turned out to be the decomposing, dismembered
remains of her mother and brother provided key information that
led to the arrest of the woman's live-in boyfriend, authorities
said Thursday.
The girl, who gnawed through restraints to escape from the
residence while the man was away "is a hero for surviving the
incident and coming forward with the information that she
provided us in order to charge him," said Tallapoosa County
Sheriff Jimmy Abbett.
Discovered along a country road by a passerby following her
escape on Monday, the child is now safe in the custody of state
child welfare officials. Her braces were damaged from the
chewing and marks on her wrists indicated she'd been tied up,
authorities said.
Assaulted and plied with alcohol to keep her in a stupor, the
girl fled after chewing through the ties that held her down on a
bed, authorities said in court documents.
José Paulino Pascual-Reyes, 37, was charged with kidnapping and
multiple counts of capital murder in the slayings of what
authorities said were the girl's 29-year-old mother and her son,
who court records show was younger than 14.
"They were boyfriend and girlfriend," Abbett said of Pascual-
Reyes and the girl's mother. "They were actually living there
all together."
The kidnapping charge alleges that the girl was held hostage
against her will, not that she was physically abducted from
elsewhere and taken to the home, Abbett noted.
The girl was taken captive on July 24 around the time her mother
and brother were killed, authorities allege, and police found
two dismembered bodies in the mobile home after the child
escaped on Monday morning. Abbett declined to comment on whether
the girl knew the fate of her mother and brother while she was
still a hostage, but the chopped-up remains were found inside
the home.
Pascual-Reyes was arrested Monday night while working at a
construction site in Auburn, more than 20 miles from the mobile
home. He is being held without bond.
Defense attorney Mark Carlton said he and another lawyer had
just been appointed to represent Pascual-Reyes and declined
immediate comment, saying they'd yet to have a chance to meet
with him.
Reyes, who is from Mexico, was in the country illegally after
being deported and returning without proper documentation,
Abbett said. It wasn't clear when he last entered the United
States, said the sheriff, but the group had been living in the
mobile home since February.
Ceja and the two children entered the United States from Mexico
in 2017 and remained after requesting asylum, but their claims
had yet to be decided by immigration officials, the sheriff said.
While a few other people live near the mobile home and others
had lived at the residence, there's no indication anyone else
knew about the killings or that the girl was being held against
her will, Abbett said.
"No one has come forward with information," he said.
