Body of Amber Alert Child Found
CROSBYTON, Texas (AP) -- The caretaker for a 2-year-old girl reported missing a week ago has been arrested on a capital murder charge after an toddler's body was found in her West Texas home.
Authorities arrested Matilda Almaraz on Thursday after FBI investigators executed a search warrant at her home, Crosbyton Police chief Greg Parrot told KCBD-TV.
The body of the child believed to be Leah Marie Aguirre was found in Almaraz's basement.
An autopsy is pending.
Crosbyton is about 40 miles east of Lubbock.
It was not immediately clear where Almaraz was being held or if she had an attorney.
Parrot said the investigation is ongoing and Almaraz might not be the only suspect.
A statewide Amber Alert was issued for Leah, missing since Jan. 3, on Tuesday. The alert was cancelled Thursday.

Gov. Perry to address business forum
May 22, 2013 08:14 GMT
AUSTIN, Texas (AP) -- Gov. Rick Perry is delivering the keynote address at the Governor's Small Business Forum's 2013 Texas Global Business Summit.
Wednesday's event in Austin comes as the state Legislature enters its final, frantic days before the end of the session Monday.
Perry has the option of summoning lawmakers back to work for a special session later this summer.
He has said that if lawmakers want to avoid that, they should send him a state budget with at least $1.8 billion in tax cuts, as well as $2 billion in funding for roads and water infrastructure.
The governor, in office since 2000, plans to announce whether he'll seek a fourth full term after the legislative session. He also hasn't ruled out another run for president in 2016, despite his unsuccessful 2012 bid.
