BIRMINGHAM, AL — Two people of interest detained after the kidnapping of 3-year-old Kamille McKinney claim they had no role in the abduction of the girl.

Defense attorney Emory Anthony says that one of the men detained for questioning in the kidnapping case, 39-year-old Patrick Devone Stallworth, doesn’t know anything about what happened to Kamille.

Both Stallworth and Brown were arrested on charges unrelated to Kamille's abduction. Stallworth is now free on bond after multiple child pornography charges.
