Another juvenile has been taken into custody and charged with the murder of the child, Aliceanna Bigbee.
Piedmont Police Department officers responded to a call about a missing child shortly before 11 p.m.
They arrived at the home and tragically discovered Katheryn inside less than an hour later.
On Tuesday, it was reported that the little girl was stabbed to death.
Calhoun County Corner Pat Brown says Katheryn Aliceanna Bigbee was stabbed multiple times.
Authorities responded to Bigbee’s home Friday night, April 17, just before 11 p.m., Chief Nathan Johnson says his department got a call about a missing child. Officers responded to a home in the Asberry church area where they say they found Bigbee inside the home.
Chief Johnson says first responders treated her at the scene. She was then taken to a hospital and later pronounced dead. Johnson says another juvenile was taken into custody and is being charged with murder.
“When the parents were alerted by some noise and they got up to see what the noise was, the child wasn’t in the bedroom, and that’s what led to the missing person’s call,” said Johnson.
“I couldn’t imagine coming home to some news like that, you know it would just break my heart, and I feel for the family that’s going through what they’re going through right now, and we’re praying for them,” said Adrian Fitten of Piedmont.
Piedmont Police Chief Nathan Johnson addressed the incident in a statement, saying officers “tragically discovered a deceased juvenile inside the home.”
