Two people in Kentucky have been arrested in connection with an alleged murder after authorities said they believed they found the body of a 4-year-old girl who was reported missing this week.
The Whitley County Sheriff Department announced Friday that the body of 4-year-old Chloe Darnell was recovered and sent to the medical examiner’s office in Frankfort for an autopsy and positive identification.
Brittany Slaughter, 24, and Adam Hayes, 34, both of Williamsburg, Kentucky, are charged with murder, abuse of a corpse, and tampering with physical evidence, according to the sheriff’s department. A relative of Chloe’s said on GoFundMe that the 4-year-old had been in the care of an aunt who lived with her boyfriend, referring to Slaughter and Hayes.
Another relative, Chloe’s sister, said in a Facebook post that she and others had initially been allowed to visit the girl, until Slaughter stopped responding to them.
The investigation is ongoing and the sheriff’s department is asking anyone with information to contact them. No further details have been released at this time.
