The Daviess County Sheriff's Office announced in a news release on Tuesday that Cheyanne Porter, 27, and Jose Gomez-Alvarez, 31, had each been charged with tampering with physical evidence and mistreatment of a corpse.
When a caller reported that they had not seen one of the kids that was being cared for by Porter and Gomez-Alvarez for some time, deputies became aware of the missing youngster.
According to the sheriff's office, the caller "indicated that [Porter and Gomez-Alvarez] had varied justifications as to why this child was never with the other children and believed something may have happened to the youngster."
Authorities claim that on Monday, deputies received information that directed them to an Owensboro storage facility, where they discovered a locker with Porter's name on it. Authorities did not immediately disclose information regarding the intelligence that pointed them in the direction of the storage facility.
