The mother of a woman missing for more than a month says she is happy two Kentucky men have been charged with abducting her daughter with intent to kill. The two could face the death penalty if convicted on the new charges. ''I'm pretty pleased to see what (prosecutors) are doing,'' Lorraine Moore said Tuesday night. ''I want justice to take its course.'' Moore's daughter, Alice Donovan, 44, was abducted from a Wal-Mart parking lot in South Carolina on Nov. 14. Despite extensive searches in North Carolina and South Carolina, police have not been able to find her. Moore said she has given up most hope her daughter will be found alive. A federal grand jury in South Carolina on Tuesday indicted Branden Leon Basham, 21, and Chadrick Evan Fulks, 25, in connection with the kidnapping and carjacking. The indictment says the two men took Donovan's car ''with intent to cause death and serious bodily harm, by force, violence, and that (her) death resulted,'' the Morning News of Florence reported. The indictment also says the two men kidnapped Donovan, took her to North Carolina and caused her death. The new indictment brings charges of carjacking resulting in death and kidnapping resulting in death. The new indictment also includes a charge of interstate transportation of a stolen motor vehicle. Donovan grew up in Kingston. Moore and Donovan's sister live in Bristol. Teams are continuing to search, Moore said. Much of the search has gone on in Brunswick County, N.C., where Donovan was last seen with the two suspects in her dark blue 1994 BMW 318i hours after she was carjacked, police said. Fulks and Basham were back in Horry County later that day without Donovan. Fulks and Basham escaped in November from the Hopkins County jail in western Kentucky. Fulks was apprehended in Elkhart County, Ind., on Nov. 20. Basham was captured in Ashland, Ky., on Nov. 17. Fulks and Basham also are suspects in the Nov. 11 disappearance of Samantha Burns, a 19-year-old student at West Virginia's Marshall University. Investigators think Fulks and Basham traveled through West Virginia before and after their stay in Myrtle Beach. |
