McKinney was snatched from a birthday party in Alabama last week. Arrested pair, Patrick Devone Stallworth, 39, and Derick Irisha Brown, 29, have deny any involvement in her disappearance, their lawyers said Friday as police released new surveillance video of a potential suspect.
The news of the arrests came as Crime Stoppers upped the rewark to $33k.
After Crime Stoppers of Alabama announced on Wednesday that they are offering a $19,000 cash reward for credible information leading to the location of Kamille ‘Cupcake’ McKinney, as of Saturday, the reward has been raised to $33,000.
You can call Crime Stoppers and anonymously leave a tip if you know her whereabouts 205-254-7777.
The Jefferson County Commission has approved $8,000 to be added to the $20,000 CrimeStoppers reward for information that could lead to the recovery of Kamille. With the addition of a $5,000 reward provided by the office of Gov. Kay Ivey, the reward totals $33,000, reports NBC4i.
Previously, the $19,000 reward was in addition to the $6,000 reward being offered by Gov. Kay Ivey’s office for a total $25,000 reward if “Cupcake” McKinney is found, reported ABC3340 on Wednesday.
After reporting to the press that little the girl had been located alive, at 1:06 p.m. Jefferson County Sheriff’s office told reporters he had received “misinformation” from one of his deputies in the field.
At 12:50 p.m., Jefferson County Sheriff Mark Pettway said Cupcake had been found alive was being “checked by medical personnel.” But 15 minutes later, Pettway was forced to admit to receiving bad information.
A twitter user claimed Wednesday that the field deputy found a child, however, it was not Cupcake:
They found a child … but it wasn’t her …
