‼️
PRESS RELEASE
‼️

Both Jackson County Sheriff’s Office and Houston County Sheriff’s Office investigators have been working around the clock since the missing person report of Anastasia Gilley came to our office. The investigation quickly led to the arrest of an Alabama man, who has been in custody since earlier this week. The suspect has been uncooperative throughout this entire investigation.
Information gathered through interviews and other investigative techniques led law enforcement to various locations in Houston and Jackson Counties. In the early hours of Wednesday, May 10, the body of a deceased victim was found near Headland, Alabama. Investigators believe this to be the body of Anastasia Gilley, pending an autopsy.
This is a large, multi-state investigation, and is ongoing, but a suspect is in custody and is not a threat to the public. Charges are pending for the suspect. More details will be shared as the investigation continues.
As this tragedy continues to unfold, Sheriff Edenfield and Houston County Sheriff Donald Valenza extend their deepest condolences to the family and friends of the victim. Sheriff Edenfield would also like to thank everyone who has assisted and continues to assist in this investigation.

Sadly @Snoopster it's the same man.


For the 33-year-old McCloud, this is not his first brush with the law with his criminal history going back years.

A Henry County judge in 2010 gave him eight years for rape.

He had been released by 2015 when he faced another rape charge in Quitman County, Georgia.

Court records show a Fugitive from Justice warrant was issued after he failed to attend court on that charge. Henry County authorities arrested him, and officers returned him to Georgia.

Again, he was released, but in 2021 McCloud was back in custody, this time in Albany, Georgia, where he faced Aggravated Battery and other charges involving a man whose throat was cut, according to WALB television.

I'd like to know how she came up on his radar. Did they know each other?

Sounds like she was taken from home as her personal items were still there, so not a chance encounter, unless he'd been stalking her.
 

Early Wednesday morning, investigators found a body near Headland, Alabama. They believe it’s 19-year-old Anastasia Gilley. The teen was 4 months pregnant and had been missing since last Wednesday. An autopsy is being performed.
*edited to add just realized that this had already been posted, but so sad.

Court records show a Fugitive from Justice warrant was issued and Henry County authorities arrested him after his indictment on that theft charge.

McCloud’s other arrests, according to records, include violating sex offender registration laws, making terror threats, robbery, and criminal mischief.

In 2017, police charged him with another rape charge that a grand jury dismissed.

The Department of Human Resources has taken him to court seeking child support for two children, born in 2014 and 2018.

If convicted of Capital Murder, a jury would sentence him to life without parole or the death penalty.
