Mother and daughter arrested after remains of Alabama woman found at bottom of cliff
Mother and daughter arrested after remains of Alabama woman found at bottom of cliff
The body of Mary Elizabeth Isbell was discovered by police at the foot of a cliff in Alabama after she was reported missing in 2021. A mother and daughter have been arrested in connection with her death. Police arrested Loretta Kay Carr, 45, and her daughter, Jessie Eden Kelly, 21, this week. Both women have been charged with capital murder. Ms Kelly is in custody in Pennsylvania and is awaiting extradition to face felony charges. According to Dekalb County Sheriff’s Office investigator Nick Brown, the department received a tip on Tuesday that the department deemed credible which lead to the women’s arrests. Two days later, law enforcement discovered Ms Isbell's body at the bottom of a cliff, according to Law & Crime. A chilling photo from 2019 shows Ms Carr standing at the edge of the cliff in the Little River Canyon National Preserve where police allege that she shoved Ms Isbell to her death. The selfie, taken at a high angle, shows the distance between her and bottom of the cliff. "Day trip to Little River Canyon and Falls" Ms Carr wrote in the photo's caption. She noted that the nature preserve was "beautiful and only a little ways from the house". Ms Carr is accused of kidnapping Ms Isbell before shoving her from the cliff, according to prosecutors. Attorneys representing Ms Carr argued that the prosecution does not have enough evidence to hold their client, according to AL.com. Police said the case broke open recently after the DCSO received new information. “Investigators immediately checked the lead and determined it to be credible,” the sheriff's office said in a statement. Shortly after receiving the new information, Ms Carr and her daughter were taken into custody. “This tip, we actually received names that we had been looking at in the beginning,” Mr Brown said, accoridng to WHNT. He said that one of the women was “cooperative” and allegedly provided police with instructions for finding Ms Isbell’s remains. “One of the co-defendants was very cooperative and helped us to lead to Mary’s remains where we recovered them Wednesday,” he said. Human remains were found on 28 June at the nature preserve. They were identified as Ms Isbell's on Friday, which would have been her 39th birthday. She leaves behind a teenage son. The detective noted the brutality of the alleged killing. “It’s very inhuman and brutal what these ladies did to Mary,” he said. “It’s terrible.” It's unclear how, or if, Ms Carr and Ms Kelly knew Ms Isbell before the alleged murder.The events leading up to the alleged abduction are unclear. Before she disappeared, Ms Isbell was a suspect in a theft that occurred in DeKalb County, according to the Daily Mail. The theft involved an apartment where she lived with her boyfriend, James Allen Wright. When Mr Wright was arrested in September 2021 and later released to a rehab facility, Ms Isbell reportedly began drifting, moving from friend's house to friend's house throughout DeKalb County, the Daily Mail reported.

Man United keen to sign Jonny Evans despite Harry Maguire’s transfer collapse
Man United keen to sign Jonny Evans despite Harry Maguire’s transfer collapse
Manchester United remain in talks to sign defender Jonny Evans on a permanent basis despite the collapse of Harry Maguire’s proposed move to West Ham. Evans, 35, joined on a short-term deal to cover United’s pre-season fixtures in July, but that contract has now expired. Erik ten Hag has revealed talks are ongoing with the United academy product, who watched Monday’s 1-0 win over Wolves from the director’s box at Old Trafford. “In this moment, he is not (under contract) but we are talking,” Ten Hag said. “We will see. We are in talks and when we have news we will bring it.” United’s pursuit of the Northern Ireland international, who left Old Trafford for West Brom in 2015 and became a free agent this summer when his contract with relegated Leicester expired, has continued even though Maguire now appears set to stay at the club. United accepted a £30million offer from West Ham for their former captain last week, but that move stalled with Maguire wanting to stay and fight for his place. Ten Hag offered the 30-year-old some encouragement when asked what he needed to do to get back into the side. “I am happy he is here, we need a good squad,” the Dutchman said. “We have four good centre halves and including Luke Shaw we have five, and we need it because we are going to play 50-60 games this season. All the players are internationals so we have a lot of load to cover. “I am happy Harry Maguire is here. He is going to have to fight for his position as does everyone in the squad. “He knows what I expect from him, what I expect from a centre-half. He can do it, he has the abilities to do it so now he has to show it. It is about character, to be convinced to play that role, he has all the abilities to do it.” There was one concern in defence on Monday night with Lisandro Martinez forced off at half-time, replaced by Victor Lindelof, but the Argentinian has trained this week and Ten Hag expects him to be available for Saturday’s trip to Tottenham. United have spent big this summer to sign England midfielder Mason Mount, Denmark striker Rasmus Hojlund and Cameroon goalkeeper Andre Onana. Ten Hag said he was happy with how his squad now looks, but did not rule out further moves in the final weeks of the transfer window. “Our squad is covered, all the positions are covered, but of course we are Manchester United, we are always looking for improvement…” he said. “With this squad I am convinced we can go for our targets.” This week United issued a club statement regarding the internal investigation into Mason Greenwood, who has been suspended by United since January 30, 2022, over allegations relating to a young woman after images and videos were posted online. Greenwood was facing charges including attempted rape and assault until the Crown Prosecution Service announced six months ago that the case had been discontinued. Following reports that United are preparing to bring the academy graduate back into the first-team set-up, the club statement said no decision had yet been made. The issue has divided a number of fans, with some protests against Greenwood’s potential return seen at Old Trafford on Monday night. Ten Hag said the issue was not affecting him or his team with the season now under way. “We focus on the way of playing, we focus on the team performance. It is about the players who are available so we focus on Tottenham,” he said. “Every start to the season is difficult. “We know the performance (against Wolves) was not what we hoped but we won. We showed the character and the personality.” Read More Charity boss speaks out over ‘traumatic’ encounter with royal aide Ukraine war’s heaviest fight rages in east - follow live Alessia Russo: Playing in the World Cup final is a real ‘pinch me’ moment Warren Gatland impressed by competition for World Cup places in Wales squad James Ryan says Ireland’s clash with England ‘has never been a warm-up game’
