Police have arrested a 38-year-old man and charged him with killing a seven-year-old girl who went missing for only 25 minutes from a Kentucky youth football game.
Timothy Madden, of the small
town of Scottsville outside Bowling Green, was taken into custody Friday
and is being held in lieu of $1 million bail at the Allen County Jail,
authorities said in a statement.

He has been charged with kidnapping
resulting in the victim’s death, rape, sodomy and murder, according to
the Kentucky State Place. No other details were released about the
arrest or the suspect.
Gabriella “Gabby” Doolin got
separated from her parents in a crowd at a local football stadium where
the family had gone to see Gabby’s 11-year-old brother play.
Her name was announced several
times over loudspeakers at the game, but when the child failed to come
forward, the match was suspended and those inside the stadium spread out
to look for the blonde-haired child.
Her body was found in a creek in a nearby wood 25 minutes later.
The cause of death was drowning and asphyxiation, authorities said.
The girl’s father, Brian Doolin, expressed fury on his Facebook page Friday.
“This animal should not be
walking and breathing,” he wrote. "I wish this evil could be tak(en) off
this planet. I have made plenty of mistakes and sinned in my life, but
NEVER ha(s) this kind of rage entered into my heart … I’ve tried to stay
strong but my baby girl was always my weakness.”
