The confession came after the suspect was confronted with “digital evidence, as well as interviews” of the crime.
The Sheriff became emotional claiming the search did not end “the way we hoped it would end.” He also said, “It hurts our hearts to know that child died.”
The child’s body was on the way to the medical examiner’s office, he added. “There’s a Texas Ranger in front of her, and there’s a Texas Ranger behind her. This community does not like losing our children.”
The suspect was a contract driver for Federal Express. And is being held in the Wise County jail and charged with Capital murder and aggravated kidnapping with a 1.5-million-dollar bond.
