Authorities in Alabama called a 12-year-old girl a hero after she escaped her kidnapper and helped expose a suspected murderer on Monday.

According to NBC affiliate WSFA, the child was tied up and drugged with alcohol in the home of 37-year-old Jose Paulino Pascual-Reyes for about one week.
An affidavit said the girl was assaulted and tied to a bed until she chewed her way out of the restraints, breaking her braces in the process.

Once she was free, a driver noticed the girl wandering down a County Road 34 south of Dadeville, Alabama. Tallapoosa County deputies were called to the area and took her to get medical treatment.

“I would say she’s a hero, and it’s one of those things that we don’t want to get into until later,” Tallapoosa County Sheriff Jimmy Abbett said. “We gave her medical attention, and she is safe now, and so we want to keep her that way.”

Inside the house where she was held captive, deputies found two decomposing bodies.
U.S Marshals and the Auburn Police Department Pascual-Reyes into custody Monday in Auburn. He’s charged with first-degree kidnapping in addition to more serious charges for the two decomposing bodies found at his home.

“At this time, we’re looking at multiple counts of capital murder,” said Tallapoosa County District Attorney Jeremy Duerr. “And of course, once we continue and finish our investigation, I feel certain that several more charges will follow.”

The sheriff said the girl had not been reported as a missing person, and it’s still unclear who she is and investigators haven’t identified the two bodies.
 
A man accused of abducting a 12-year-old who escaped by chewing her way out of restraints after a week in captivity at a rural mobile home was charged with killing a woman and juvenile found dismembered inside the residence, authorities said Wednesday.
Already charged with first-degree kidnapping in connection with the girl’s mistreatment, José Paulino Pascual-Reyes also was charged with capital murder and corpse abuse in the deaths of a woman and a boy younger than 14 who were found inside the mobile home in the central Alabama town of Dadeville, according to Tallapoosa County Sheriff Jimmy Abbett and court documents.
The woman, identified as Sandra Vazquez Ceja, was smothered with a pillow and the boy, identified only by initials, was hit and kicked to death, documents showed. Both bodies were cut into small pieces at the joints to hide evidence.


Authorities haven’t released information about the surviving girl, a possible motive or whether any of the victims and Pascual-Reyes were related, but Abbett said additional charges were possible.
Ceja, 29, used an address that matched the location of the mobile home when she received traffic tickets for speeding and driving without a license in April, court records showed.
Abducted from an undisclosed location around July 24, the girl was restrained to bedposts for about a week so she could be sexually abused, according to a complaint filed in court by authorities. The two people were killed around the time of the alleged abduction, records show.

The girl was kept in a “drugged state” with alcohol and assaulted in the head before chewing her way out of the restraints, the document said.
With her braces damaged from the chewing and marks on her wrists indicating she’d been tied up, the girl was spotted on the road outside the mobile home on Monday morning, authorities said.

So moms bf/husband killed the kidnapped victims mom and brother I guess?

How does she overcome this? Sometimes I read these stories and I feel so emotionally done. How is she supposed to just get past something this horrific when she is just about to hit her teen years which are hard enough when your life is perfect? I doubt he just tied her up for a week and left her alone. There was a reason he kept only her alive and I doubt it was out of the kindness in his heart.

I hope she has a dad somewhere who is actually involved with her life. Grandparents. Lots of cousins and aunts and uncles. People who can surround her with feelings of love, hope, and protection.

This piece of shit deserves to die. And none of this smothered with a pillow shit. Dismembered alive would be preferable honestly but we will never get that satisfaction.

I hate what this world can look like to the innocent kids who are stuck with monsters in their life.
 
I can't help but think of The Pit and the Pendulum by Edgar Allan Poe because the main character used the rats in the pit to chew away his restraints. Unfortunately this poor little girl had to be resourceful and damage her own braces chewing at her own restraints. I hope she has family that will give her the love and support she so desperately needs after this horrific ordeal.
 
The woman and boy found murdered and dismembered in a Tallapoosa County mobile home earlier this week were the girlfriend of the suspect and her young son.

Court records on Wednesday identified the adult victim as Sandra Vazquez Ceja. The second victim – a male child under the age of 14 – was identified only as “AOGV.”

Tallapoosa County Sheriff Jimmy Abbett on Thursday said Ceja was the girlfriend of Jose Paulino Pascual-Reyes, 37, who is charged with three counts of capital murder, two counts of corpse abuse and one count of kidnapping.

Pascual-Reyes is charged with capital murder of a child under the age of 14, capital murder during a kidnapping and capital murder of two or more victims.

The bodies were discovered after Ceja’s 12-year-old daughter was found by a motorist walking along a rural road on Monday.

Abbett said the 12-year-old girl was Ceja’s daughter, and the slain boy was her son. Pascual-Reyes was not the father of the children.

Abbett said the couple and the children moved to the mobile home at 3547 County Road 34 in rural Dadeville in February.

They had previously lived in another state, but Abbett declined to name that state because Alabama investigators are speaking with officials there about the case.

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE)’s, Homeland Security Investigations (HSI)-Birmingham is assisting state and local police with the investigation.

According to an ICE spokesperson, ICE’s Enforcement and Removal Operations officers lodged an immigration detainer on Pascual-Reyes, following his arrest on Monday.

Pascual-Reyes was arrested by the U.S. Border Patrol on Dec. 14, 2014 and processed as an expedited removal and removed to Mexico on Dec. 23, 2014. He reentered the U.S. at an unknown location and time.

Ceja and the children came to the U.S. from Mexico in 2017. Ceja, at the time of her death, had formal asylum in the U.S. and was awaiting a hearing on the matter.

Abbett said the 12-year-old girl is in the custody of DHR and is doing well.

“She’s a very strong young lady,’’ Abbett said.
The girl was able to tell investigators that she was bound to a bedpost for nearly a week and given alcohol to keep her in a drugged state. Asked if she was able to tell investigators about the murder, Abbett said the girl had been under the influence much of that time.
Charging documents against Pascual-Reyes state the little boy was fatally bludgeoned by the suspect, who used his hands and feet. The woman was smothered with a pillow.

Both victims were then “cut into small pieces at the joints in order to hide evidence,’’ according to depositions in the cases. Vazquez was killed in the course of Pascual-Reyes trying to hold her hostage.
 
A man charged in the deaths of his live-in girlfriend and her son, whose dismembered bodies were discovered in central Alabama after a 12-year-old girl escaped captivity in a rural mobile home, has admitted to killing the two, prosecutors told a judge.

José Paulino Pascual-Reyes, 37, gave self-incriminating information about the deaths of Sandra Vazquez Ceja, 29, and her juvenile son in more than one statement, Tallapoosa County authorities said in a court document filed Tuesday.

Prosecutors revealed the statements in a motion that asked a judge to order the man to provide a DNA sample for comparison with evidence found at the home where hacked-up body parts were found in August.

Jailed without bond on charges including capital murder, kidnapping and corpse abuse, Pascual-Reyes has yet to enter a plea. He could be sentenced to death if convicted.

The sickening part is other people live in the trailer with them and did nothing - probably all the adults were here illegally.
