A young girl miraculously chewed through her restraints to escape her kidnapper's home in the US where investigators later uncovered two decomposing bodies.
José Paulino Pascual-Reyes, 37, is facing kidnapping charges and multiple counts of capital murder in connection to the bodies found at the home after a 12-year-old girl was discovered walking along a roadside in Alabama on Monday morning, the NY Post reports.
Police at a press conference said a driver had picked up the girl who managed to escape and called police, setting off an investigation that led to Pascual-Reyes' arrest.
Authorities then made the horrifying discovery of two decomposing bodies in the 37-year-old's home, not far from where the girl was discovered walking.
