An Alabama woman is behind bars for allegedly pushing a missing Fort Payne mother off of a cliff.
According to Al.com, Loretta Kay Carr was arrested Sunday and charged with capital murder-kidnapping in connection with the death of Mary Elizabeth Isbell. She’s accused of pushing Isbell off of a cliff in 2021 after an attempted abduction or during an abduction.
The Hartselle Police Department said Isbell was reported missing in November 2021. ABC 21 reports that prior to her disappearance, she was allegedly involved in some sort of theft in an apartment she lived in with her boyfriend, identified as James Allen Wright.
Wright eventually transferred to a rehabilitation center in Florida, while Isbell began “living where she could” in Dekalb County, Alabama. She was possibly at her son’s school in Hartselle on November 23, 2021, but hasn’t been seen or heard from since. However, police say that Carr pushed Isbell to her death in October 2021.
Carr remains behind bars at the DeKalb County Jail without bond. No further information is available at this time.
