At one point during the interview, Chief Smith said, ” In order to make an arrest, we have to feel confident we have the right people in custody. We’re doing everything we can to close every single loop. Our investigators have stayed on this case 24 hours a day. This was personal. This was a little child. No one was willing to back off no one was willing to take a break until we knew and were fairly confident, very confident that we had the right people, we know what we’re doing, and we’re conducting a systematic investigation.”

The images were discovered on his phone during the investigation into the abduction. Authorities said there were no images of Kamille found on his phone. He was released from jail after posting $500,000 bond.

Only 10 percent of that bond - $50,000 - has to actually be posted and court records show six different people contributed to that effort.

AL.com reached several of those contributors and family members but they declined to comment. A motion filed in court Thursday shows those contributors no long want to back his bail.

[...]

Stallworth’s lawyer, Emory Anthony, prior to the discovery of the body, said his client had an alibi and was not involved in the abduction. Anthony declined to comment after the discovery and has requested to withdraw as Stallworth’s attorney.

Kamille 'Cupcake’ McKinney: 2 charged with capital murder of child
District Attorney Danny Carr said warrants were issued against Smith and Brown for capital murder of a child under the age of 14. If convicted, both could face the death penalty. Both are held without bond in the Jefferson County Jail.

[...]

“If appropriate, we will seek additional charges on both individuals involved,” Smith said. “We refuse to stop until prosecution is completely upheld and the light of day is limited to one hour for both.”

[...]

In their first public comments, the Stallworth family released this prepared statement:

"We are deeply saddened by the death of little Kamille McKinney. We offer our heartfelt prayers and sympathy to her family, but we know this is not enough. This precious child should have had a chance to enjoy life and pursue her dreams.

We can’t find enough words to express our grief, and we are distraught by the fact that a member of the Stallworth family is charged with this heinous act. Patrick Stallworth’s fate will be determined by a system of laws – a system that we revere and respect.

Patrick was reared in a family with strong values. The actions he is alleged to have done in no way reflect who we are as a family. We ask that our family not be judged by the actions of one individual. We abhor senseless violence, and even more so, we condemn acts of violence against defenseless children.

We will continue to pray for the McKinney family. For us this too is a tragedy."

[...]

He was taken into custody at his family’s home Midfield after Kamille’s body was recovered Tuesday night. He also lived for a time in the mid-2000s in Pensacola, but Florida records show no criminal history for him there.

[...]

It wasn’t immediately clear how long he lived at Woodside Condominiums – where he was initially taken into custody on October 13 – but management there said he had lived in one building until it burned in September and then moved to his current rental apartment which was padlocked after his arrest.

[...]

Stallworth was brought from the Birmingham City Jail, where he had been held on suicide watch since Tuesday, to the county jail shortly before 7 p.m. Thursday. He did not respond to questions from reporters.

Chief Smith explained, “There’s still a lot of investigation work to be done. Keep in mind, investigations are like putting pieces together in a person. From day one we have been gathering evidence, talking to everyone in the area. Everyone has different pieces of the puzzle, so we can draw a picture of what occurred when it occurred and exactly who is responsible.”

[...]

“Motives are often hard to prove. It’s just a very unfortunate thing for the city,” Smith said. Chief Smith was unable to go into details of the investigation to fully answer.

“What we’re trying to do is narrow down the roles of various people, what they saw, where they were and if they were involved in this investigation. So far we have been able to arrest two people we feel are totally responsible for this.”

Court records reveal criminal past and childhood of Derick Brown

As a young woman, Derick Brown pled with a judge to help keep her from becoming a “failure,” according to a letter uncovered in court records.

[...]

In the letter written a decade ago, Brown described a violent and unstable childhood and a desperation to keep her family together.

Her criminal record in Alabama stretches back to 2009 when Brown was 18 years old. At the time, she was using the alias Quentesa Evon Jackson, according to court records. Jackson was charged with burglary and theft of property and eventually found guilty of theft.

[...]

Jackson was arrested in December 2010 by Birmingham Police and charged with two felonies, robbery and fraudulent use of a credit card.

In January, she wrote a letter to the judge over the case, apologizing for lying during a court hearing. In the letter, she wrote, “I was scared from all I heard about you being mean and all I wanted to be with my babies and fiancé and father of my kids.” The then 20-year-old described her concerns for piling bills and her inability to buy diapers and baby wipes. “[My fiancé] only makes $7.50 a hour part-time,” she wrote. “I don’t want to be the reason we loses [sic] our home and our kids.”

[...]

Jackson goes on to detail her childhood which she said included sexual abuse, treatment in mental-health facilities and years spent in foster care. “I made a promise to myself that I won’t become a drug addict, do drugs or drink or hang around people that do. I would not lose my kids to (DHR) like my mother did.”

[...]

While sentencing was pending in this case, Jackson’s probation from the 2009 theft charge was revoked and she was admitted to Tutwiler Prison for Women in March 2011. She served 6 months and 18 days.

[...]

There were no charges in Alabama against Brown, or her alias, again until 2018.

According to court records, DHR removed three of Brown’s children from her care in July 2018 after a family member reported “Brown placed one of the children in the washing machine for punishment.”

DHR gave a family member, who already had custody of one of Brown’s children, temporary custody of the three others, according to court records.

[...]

She was indicted on the kidnapping charges by a grand jury in March 2019 and was re-arrested on the charges.

[...]

That case is scheduled to go to trial in November, according to court records.

Crime Stoppers awards tipster for assistance in arrests of Kamille McKinney murder suspects
Crime Stoppers announced Friday morning in an exclusive interview with WBRC that a tipster has received an award for providing assistance in the arrest of two suspects in connection to Kamille McKinney’s kidnapping.

Crime Stoppers Chairman Frank Barefield confirmed a portion of the reward, originally announced as $20,000, has been issued to the tipster but said the amount given will not be released.

Barefield said that after numerous anonymous donations, the Crime Stoppers reward exceeded $35,000 prior to Patrick Stallworth and Derick Brown being charged Thursday with capital murder.

[...]

“We don’t ever disclose the amount of the reward or what the type was because doing so might help identify the tipster. As you know, all of our tipsters are anonymous,” Barefield said.
