A 46-year-old woman, Carmelita Arguijo, faces kidnapping charges after allegedly picking up a 13-year-old girl at a gas station in Moody — a girl she’d been chatting with online.

Arguijo, who previously faced human smuggling charges, is now jailed with a $500K bond as federal agencies join the investigation, hinting at more serious charges ahead.
