Body found by hikers identified as missing Alabama man, Aaron Wade Bell
A Missing persons case with a twist. Turns out that this one was charged with manslaughter and child abuse.
According to the AP, the body found by hikers near Albertville has been identified as Aaron Wade Bell. Aaron Wade Bell had been missing since August and had been found November 23 but had just been positively identified.
A missing persons report had been issued for Aaron Wade Bell on August 15, 2005 by Farrah Elizabeth Carr. However, there is a catch to this missing persons story. Bell had gone missing after being charged with manslaughter and child abuse in his infant’s death.
A body found by hikers near Albertville has been identified as a Marshall County man missing since August after being charged with manslaughter and child abuse in his infant’s death.
The body found Nov. 23 was identified this week as Aaron Wade Bell, a Marshall County Sheriff’s Department investigator said Friday.
The cause of death remains under investigation.
Both Aaron Wade Bell and Farrah Elizabeth Carr were charged with manslaughter in the death of their 3 month old baby.
When Bell tried to drive away, the person at the home got into a physical altercation with him to prevent him from driving while intoxicated. Bell left on foot.
Bell was 21 years old at the time of his arrest in April on charges of manslaughter and child abuse. Carr, the baby’s mother, was 20 years old.
The two were charged in the death of their 3-month-old baby. The baby, while still strapped in the car seat, fell off a bed at home Nov. 2, 2003.
Looks like the people of AL got a twofer; a missing persons case solved and tax payers do not have to pay for the trial of at least one of the two people charged in the death of a three month old baby.
The parents, Bell and Carr, told police they woke about 12 hours later to find the child not breathing. An autopsy showed that the baby died from suffocation. Traces of methamphetamine were found in the child’s body
