Alabama Kidnapping Case Unfolds | Huntsville News

A 47-year-old Alabama woman, Carmelita Arguijo, faces second-degree kidnapping charges after allegedly abducting a 13-year-old girl with plans to cross state lines — the same vehicle used in a recent human smuggling arrest in New Mexico. Her accomplice, 19-year-old Ricardo Ardon-Miranda, is charged with interference with child custody after initially denying the kids’ whereabouts before admitting they were in Birmingham. Police tracked them down on I-59/20 using online communications between Arguijo and the teen. Both children are safe; Arguijo is jailed on a $500K bond, while her New Mexico case may lead to a guilty plea. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
