Mother Named Prime Suspect in Toddler's Disappearance
19 Feb
Summary
- Mother Adrienne Reid is the sole suspect in her daughter Genesis' disappearance.
- Adrienne was arrested for false reporting due to inconsistencies in her story.
- Authorities believe the mother is a flight risk and set bond at $1 million.
The investigation into the disappearance of 2-year-old Genesis Reid from her Alabama home continues, with her mother, Adrienne Reid, now identified as the sole suspect. Genesis was reported missing around 3 a.m. on Monday, February 16, 2026, by her mother. Adrienne was subsequently arrested and charged with false reporting to law enforcement due to alleged inconsistencies in her statements.
Coffee County District Attorney James Tarbox announced on February 18, 2026, that Adrienne Reid is the only person known to know Genesis's whereabouts. Her bond was set at $1 million, with strict conditions including GPS monitoring and daily check-ins, due to concerns she may be a flight risk. Authorities revealed the toddler had not been seen for several weeks prior to the report.
Multiple law enforcement agencies, including the FBI and U.S. Marshals Service, are involved in the ongoing search. Investigators have identified 'Moriah,' a known associate of Adrienne, as a person of interest who may possess key information. Despite extensive searches, including a cadaver K9 unit, no evidence of Genesis's location has been found.
