''A woman believed to be the mother of a toddler found wandering outside an apartment complex in Miramar, Florida, on Sunday has ties to Walker County.
Walker County Sheriff's Office Investigator Carl Carpenter said
Leila Cavett, 21, has lived in Walker County in the past and currently has a pending court case here but is not considered to be missing from Walker County.
Her Facebook page lists her as living in Atlanta. Court records list her address as Muscle Shoals.
"We don't have any reason to believe that she is anywhere else but southern Florida," said Carpenter, the major crimes/missing person investigator at WCSO.
"She's very close to her child from what we understand. I believe whatever the circumstances were in Florida for her child to turn up down there, I don't have any reason not to believe that she is down there, and
I have a lot of concern about her if the child was by himself," Carpenter said.''
''The last time Cavett was confirmed to be in Walker County was in October 2019, according to Carpenter.
According to court documents, Cavett was arrested in Cordova on drug charges in September and received two traffic tickets in October. Cavett failed to appear on the traffic violations at a court date in February, which resulted in her driver's license being suspended in March.''
