Saturday, deputies said they caught up with Cox who told them he had not seen Newsome since about an hour after they got back from Walmart in Breman on Wednesday night and didn’t know she was missing. Deputies said they found a phone on the couch in his home which ended up belonging to Newsome.
That night, a sergeant on patrol located Newsome’s car pulled into the edge of a yard. The resident of the home told deputies Newsome and Cox had left it there. Deputies ended up towing it into the station.
Monday, deputies executed a search warrant on Cox’s home and found Newsom. She told deputies she needed help and was transported to the hospital. Deputies said she will later face charges, but didn’t specify exact charges.
Cox was charged with obstruction.
