A Columbus girl is back home with her family just days after her family
reported her missing. A statewide search was called off Sunday, after
13-year-old Fabiola Morales was found in Alabama. Now the man accused of
kidnapping her is behind bars. In NBC 38's Olivia LaBorde's exclusive
interview the young girl explains her ordeal.

13-year-old Fabiola
Morales sat across from her grandmother, uncle and two siblings as she
describes her alleged kidnapping. She says, "It was so scary. I can’t
believe I’m back home.”

She says longtime family friend,
18-year-old Luis Garcia showed up at her 11th Avenue home on Wednesday
night and asked her come talk in his car. Fabiola says she got inside,
and the next thing she knew Garcia closed the car door and took off with
her inside. Fabiola's grandmother speaks only Spanish. But she tells
NBC 38 she realized Fabiola was missing on Thursday morning when she
went to wake her up for school and she wasn't in her room.

Fabiola's
parents, siblings, and extended family all live in her grandmother's
house and she says they are very close. Fabiola adds, "When I thought
that I might not see them again, it was the worst feeling in the world."


The Georgia Bureau of Investigation issued an Amber Alert
Saturday night. Authorities say Fabiola was found in Jasper, Alabama
early Sunday morning with Garcia. Garcia was arrested and charged with
kidnapping. Fabiola says she's not sure how the police found her, but
remembers Garcia telling his cousins on the phone that she was with him.


Luis Garcia is awaiting extradition from Walker County, Alabama
to Columbus, to face kidnapping charges. He's scheduled to appear in
Columbus for a Recorder's Court hearing on Friday.

The man accused in a kidnapping that led to a statewide Amber Alert earlier this year, pleaded guilty Tuesday, to charges connected to the kidnap and rape of a Columbus teen.

18-year-old Luis Garcia pleaded guilty to statutory rape and enticing a child for indecent purposes. A child molestation charge against him was dismissed.

Police say Garcia kidnapped a 13-year-old from her home in January. Her grandmother discovered she was missing when she went to wake her up for school on the morning of January 20.

Police say Garcia took the girl to Jasper, Alabama where the two were found three days later.

Garcia was sentenced to six years in prison, followed by nine on probation. Officials say he must also register as a sex
offender.

I think this guy deserves every minute of his sentence.

But I can't help but wonder why he was given more time than a pervert who forcible rapes a young girl.
