Cliff Williams / the Outlook Tallapoosa County Sheriff Jimmy Abbett holds up a mug shot of Jose Paulino Pascaul-Reyes who has been arrested for first-degree kidnapping and will likely have capital murder charges filed following an investigation on County Road 34.

Authorities are trying to determine why a Tallapoosa County man kidnapped a juvenile and killed two others leaving the corpses within the floor of a home to decompose.

The Tallapoosa County Sheriff’s Department was called to County Road 34 near Churchill Road Monday morning around 8:26 a.m. as a witness found a 12-year-old girl walking the road and it led authorities to a gruesome scene.
