BIRMINGHAM, AL — Court testimony in the kidnapping and murder case involving 3-year-old Kamille McKinney revealed that the child had methamphetamine and a sedative in her system when she died, according to an Alabama Media Group report.

The remains of the child were tested by authorities and showed Kamille — who died the same day she was taken from a birthday party in the Tom Brown Village housing community Oct. 10 —had methamphetamine and Trazodone, an anti-depressant used to treat insomnia, in her body, according to the news report.

The preliminary hearing for Patrick Devone Stallworth Tuesday lasted more than two hours, and also revealed that Stallworth bought candy at a store near the housing community and that he and his girlfriend — co-defendant Derick Irisha Brown — were handing out the candy by the Tom Brown Village community and that witnesses told police eventually Kamille got into the vehicle with Stallworth and Brown, according to the al.com report.

Stallworth was at Tom Brown Village at the time of the abduction, according to his phone records, and Stallworth is reported to have had a prescription for Trazodone, the al.com story said.

Kamille's body was discovered Oct. 22 in a garbage bin that had been parked in the Center Point area and then later moved to a landfill near Warrior. Kamille died by asphyxiation, according to police reports.

Stallworth has maintained his innocence, and has said Brown is the defendant guilty of kidnapping and killing Kamille, while Brown has said the opposite. Reports say Brown led police to Kamille's body.
