A 10-year-old Alabama<\/a> girl remembered for her “bright and joyful” spirit was found dead inside an Alabama home late Friday night, sparking a homicide investigation that has led to one juvenile being charged with murder.<\/p>\n

Piedmont police discovered the body of Katheryn Bigbee less than an hour after she was reported missing, AL.com<\/a> reported<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“Officers responded immediately to the residence,” Piedmont Police Chief<\/a> Nathan Johnson said in a statement. “They tragically discovered a deceased juvenile inside the home.”<\/p>\n

Authorities have not disclosed the location of the home or whether it was the girl\u2019s residence. A juvenile, whose identity and relationship<\/a> to Katheryn were withheld because of their age, was arrested and charged with murder.<\/p>\n

“Our family has been torn to pieces, and we have lost the most amazing, sweetest little girl. She was a light in any room she walked into,” Blake Trammell, who is in a relationship with Katheryn’s mother, wrote in a Facebook post. “I cannot express the pain, guilt, and emptiness that has come from all of this. We don’t have answers, only more questions.”<\/p>\n

The girl\u2019s school also recalled her as a beloved student, remembered for her “spunky personality.”<\/p>\n

“Katheryn had a joyful, spunky personality that made her truly special. She was an enthusiastic reader and will be remembered for the happiness she shared so freely,” the school said in a statement.<\/p>\n
