José Paulino Pascual-Reyes, 37, gave self-incriminating information about the deaths of Sandra Vazquez Ceja, 29, and her juvenile son in more than one statement, Tallapoosa County authorities said in a court document filed Tuesday. They’re asking a judge to order him to provide a DNA sample for comparison with evidence found at a mobile home south of Dadeville where hacked-up body parts were found in August.
Authorities say the dismembered bodies were discovered after a 12-year-old girl escaped captivity at the mobile home. She was the daughter of the woman who was killed. Pascual-Reyes has yet to enter a plea. He is being held without bond on charges including capital murder, kidnapping and corpse abuse.Authorities found remains of the two after a girl escaped the mobile home where investigators said she was held against her will for days at the same location where her mother and brother were killed and dismembered.
