BOLO: Alabama Mom Allegedly Says 3-Year-Old Girl ‘Disappeared Mysteriously’ from Bedroom​

Police in Alabama are seeking tips on a missing 3-year-old girl, reported missing out of Enterprise.

According to the Enterprise Police Department, Genises Nova Reid was last seen at 201 Apache Drive. The exact day she disappeared is currently unclear.

WFSA reports that neighbors said that they have not seen Genises since early January. Multiple sources reportedly said that law enforcement is questioning the mother’s story; she claimed that Genesis “disappeared mysteriously” from a bedroom.

A missing persons flyer shared by Enterprise police indicated that her parents said their door had been opened and that they couldn’t locate the child.

It’s unclear which door at their residence had been found opened.

Hearing looms in Enterprise toddler murder case as search for child continues

Adrienne Reid, charged with murdering her 2-year-old daughter, Genesis, in Enterprise—heads back to court next week when Coffee County judge will decide whether this case moves forward to a grand jury.

Hearing looms in Enterprise toddler murder case as search for child continues​

Adrienne Reid, charged with murdering her 2-year-old daughter, Genesis, in Enterprise—heads back to court next week when Coffee County judge will decide whether this case moves forward to a grand jury.

Here’s the brutal reality. Genesis’ body still hasn’t been found. But investigators say the evidence points one way—they believe Reid killed her daughter on Christmas Day, then discarded her remains in a dumpster that was later hauled to the Coffee County landfill..

The preliminary hearing is set for April 22 in front of Coffee County District Judge Josh Wilson. And despite how serious this is, a preliminary hearing isn’t a full trial, it’s a checkpoint. Prosecutors don’t need to prove the case “beyond a reasonable doubt” here. The bar is low—really low. Usually, the state presents limited testimony, often from an investigating officer, and the judge decides whether there’s enough to keep the case moving.

Defense attorneys David Harrison and Laura Wells can cross-examine—and they will---but without hopes of getting cases dismissed.

The hearing is pretty much a formality despite the lack of a body.

Police are still searching for Genesis, relying on specialized teams at the landfill.

Coffee County District Attorney James Tarbox says he plans to seek the death penalty. Reid is charged with capital murder, along with abuse of a corpse and providing false information to investigators.

Hearing canceled after grand jury indicts Enterprise mother accused in toddler’s presumed death

A court hearing set Monday for Adrienne Reid, and Enterprise woman accused in the presumed death of her 2-year-old daughter was abruptly canceled — a sudden procedural turn that appears to signal a grand jury indictment in a case where the child is still missing.

Hearing canceled after grand jury indicts Enterprise mother accused in toddler’s presumed death​

A court hearing set Monday for Adrienne Reid, an Enterprise woman accused in the presumed death of her 2-year-old daughter was abruptly canceled — a sudden procedural turn that signals grand jury indictments in a case where the child is still missing.

A person in Coffee County District Judge Joshua Wilson’s office said the 1:30 p.m. hearing was called off because the “case is no longer under the jurisdiction of the district court.” That statement points to one of two outcomes: the charges were dismissed, which has not happened, or a grand jury returned an indictment, moving the case into Coffee County Circuit Court.

Coffee County District Attorney James Tarbox confirmed that grand jurors met on Friday but declined to discuss the proceedings, citing Alabama confidentiality laws that keep grand jury proceedings private.

Reid, 33, faces a capital murder charge and other criminal counts tied to the alleged death of her daughter, Genesis. Police believe the toddler was killed on Christmas night. Genesis has not been found.

Under the agreement, Troy officers will assist in what officials describe as an extensive landfill search. Troy Police Chief Danny Barron said investigators have narrowed down the possible area, but the effort is still expected to be large in scale.

Barron added that several officers have already volunteered to take part in the search.

Search for remains of missing 2-year-old Enterprise girl starts first week of May

The Enterprise Police Department (EPD) are set to begin their search of the Coffee County Landfill to hopefully recover the remains 2-year-old Genesis Reid.

Search for remains of missing 2-year-old Enterprise girl starts first week of May
The Enterprise Police Department (EPD) are set to begin their search of the Coffee County Landfill to hopefully recover the remains 2-year-old Genesis Reid.

The search will begin the first week of May, with 60 personnel and support staff who'll be working daily to sort through landfill material. The excavation of the landfill has been carefully planned over the last two months to ensure that evidence is handled properly.

Law enforcement agencies that helped organize the search were able to narrow down the search radius to a specific portion of the landfill. The search team will be excavating the material and transporting it to another location to be thoroughly searched, before transporting the searched material to another location.

EPD and the Coffee County Sheriff's Office says that the search for Genesis may take up to nine weeks. Although they appreciate the community's desire to help, they need people to steer clear of the landfill unless there to use it.

‘We can bring her home sooner’: Police prepare Genesis Reid landfill search

The search begins the first week of May, with 60 people working daily inside the Coffee County landfill.

www.wtvy.com

Investigators have used advanced GPS data to narrow the search to a specific and targeted area of the landfill.

Enterprise Police Chief Michael Moore put the scale of that work into perspective by using an analogy: the search area has gone from thousands of football fields down to just about two.

Moore said the operation could take up to nine weeks, but with the data they have, he is hopeful they can bring Genesis home sooner. He called it a physically, emotionally and mentally demanding search.

“I got a soft place in my heart for children. I think anybody that’s in law enforcement or public safety, first responders, we all have that soft spot. And our goal is to bring justice to little Genesis. And she’s not forgotten,” Moore said. “Being able to come down to a specific area, it will shorten it greatly. And hopefully we don’t have to be out there for nine weeks. We can bring her home sooner.”

Bless them all for how hard they are working to find Genesis!

D.A. asked if he’ll pursue death in Genesis murder case. He’s already answered.​

An attorney representing the woman who police say killed her 2-year-old daughter and then tossed the remains in a garbage bin is demanding that prosecutors reveal whether they will plan to seek the death penalty.

However, it appears the answer came loud and clear about the time investigators charged Enterprise resident Adrienne Reid and was a resounding yes, with Coffee County District Attorney James Tarbox promising to pursue the death penalty if a jury convicts Reid of capital murder.

Harrison is fully aware of Tarbox’s plans as he prepares for what could be a dramatic trial built to largely on circumstantial evidence but he wants Tarbox to answer on the record and not in front of television cameras where he did when the case gripped those living far beyond Enterprise, with people across the nation praying for her return.


No trial date is set but it will be months---possibly years---before the case makes it to trial if timetables in other capital murder trials is an accurate guide.

Enterprise community rallies to support searchers looking for Genesis Reid​

As searchers continue to look over the Coffee County landfill for the remains of Genesis Reid, members of the Enterprise community are looking for ways to assist.

In a recent Facebook post, small business owner Dale Gilley made a call to action to members of Enterprise Foodies, a group for restaurants and food businesses, and the community as a whole.

The Enterprise Police Department, along with help from other agencies, has staffed over 70 people to search for Genesis.

The task calls for long hours in the heat and the need for things like food to feed those searchers.

Gilley said there is a need for restaurants and businesses to help any way they can to make sure those searchers are fed as the search for Genesis continues.

“Whenever we had the opportunity to help investigators out there at the landfill, it was a no-brainer. It’s our community, and so we’re going to be there to take care of our community, whatever that looks like,” Gilley said. “I didn’t know the little girl, but it touched my heart tremendously. Our community, when it comes to the people being in need, they reach out. Just because it’s who we are as people ― we believe in supporting each other and loving on each other, in good times or bad. And like I said, this community is just amazing.”

Gilley says within a few hours of posting, people have already reached out to help. He is hopeful that the search will bring closure to this community.

Restaurants and businesses looking to provide meals for the searchers or make monetary donations can contact Brandy at the Enterprise Police Department.

I wonder if they only searched over the weekend, or are they searching throughout the week?

Adrienne Reid seeks speedy trial in daughter’s presumed death case

Reid’s two-year-old daughter, Genesis, is still missing and authorities believe her remains may be in the Coffee County landfill.

Adrienne Reid seeks speedy trial in daughter’s presumed death case​

Adrienne Reid, the Enterprise woman accused of killing her young daughter, has asked a judge for a speedy trial, according to court records.

Reid’s attorney, David Harrison, filed the motion late Tuesday. Harrison did not give a reason beyond stating that Reid is being held without bond on capital murder and abuse of corpse charges and is constitutionally entitled to a speedy trial.

Reid’s two-year-old daughter, Genesis, is still missing and authorities believe her remains may be in the Coffee County landfill, though a weeks-long search has not located them.

Coffee County District Attorney James Tarbox said he believes prosecutors can still secure a conviction without recovering Genesis’ remains, citing what he described as extensive circumstantial evidence.

Months-long landfill search for Enterprise toddler ends without her body

“While we didn’t achieve the outcome we hoped for, this operation cannot be considered as a failure,” Enterprise Police Chief Michael Moore said at a Monday afternoon press briefing.

Months-long landfill search for Enterprise toddler ends without her body​

Five months after Enterprise police say Genesis Reid was falsely reported missing, a massive search at the Coffee County landfill is ending without answers. Investigators spent months combing through debris, believing the toddler’s remains may have been taken there with trash collected from her Enterprise apartment complex.

“While we didn’t achieve the outcome we hoped for, this operation cannot be considered as a failure,” Enterprise Police Chief Michael Moore said at a Monday afternoon press briefing.


Despite weeks of work at the site, authorities did not recovered the child’s body, leaving the case to move forward without that physical evidence.

“Today is a somber day,” said Coffee County District Attorney James Tarbox, promising to pursue criminal charges. He dismissed any notion that Genesis is alive.

“We believe the evidence is there(against Adreienne),” he said, noting that the mother’s arrest and indictment before the landfill search began.

Reid remains in custody without bond as she awaits trial, and court records show she has requested a speedy trial through her attorney, David Harrison.

Tarbox said prosecutors believe they can still secure a conviction without recovering Genesis’ remains, pointing to what he called extensive circumstantial evidence, including video investigators say shows Reid throwing a duffel bag into a dumpster on Christmas night 2025—what police believe was the day Genesis died.

The landfill search involved dozens of law enforcement agencies from across Alabama, along with forensic specialists from multiple universities, emergency responders, the Coffee County Landfill, Coffee County Community Emergency Response Team (CC-CERT) volunteers and numerous support personnel.

Coffee County Sheriff Scott Byrd thanked those who helped with the landfill search, some who can from as far away as Arkansas and those who supported the effort through food, drink, and money.

“This is community is stronger because of this operation,” he said.

Enterprise Mayor William “Bill” Cooper said the end result of the search is “heartbreaking” but said the effort brought out the best of Coffee County. He asked prayers for everyone involved.

“Although we didn’t receive the answer we hope for, our support for justice has not changed,” Cooper said. “We will continue to carry (Genesis’) name in our hearts.”

Enterprise mom suspected of killing her daughter wants murder trial moved

The defense’s venue-change request highlights the intense public scrutiny surrounding the tragic disappearance of young Genesis, whose body has never been found.

Enterprise mom suspected of killing her daughter wants murder trial moved​

A woman accused of killing her 2-year-old daughter on Christmas Day and fabricating a missing persons report to cover up the crime is fighting to have her capital murder trial moved out of Coffee County.

Defense attorney David Harrison argues that a torrent of pretrial publicity—including more than 300 social media posts and relentless nightly news coverage—has poisoned the local jury pool, making a fair trial for Adrienne Reid impossible in Enterprise.

“In addition to the social media attention, news outlets have regularly run stories on nightly news programming, reaching thousands of residents in Coffee County (and other places),” Harrison wrote in a motion to Circuit Judge Henry “Sonny” Reagan.

The defense’s venue-change request highlights the intense public scrutiny surrounding the tragic disappearance of young Genesis, whose body has never been found.

Enterprise police allege that Reid murdered the toddler, then waited nearly two months before reporting her missing. That delay immediately triggered investigators’ suspicions. Within weeks, those suspicions turned into a capital murder charge, exposing Reid to a potential death sentence if convicted.

For months, investigators combed through the Coffee County landfill and surrounding areas. Police believe Reid discarded her daughter’s remains in a local dumpster, which was subsequently emptied at the landfill.

The search was eventually abandoned, leaving Genesis’ final resting place a mystery and further fueling the community’s outcry.

A date to hear change of venue arguments is pending.

Enterprise woman accused of killing toddler pleads not guilty to capital murder

The defense team for Adrienne Reid is seeking several key motions, including for a speedy trial and a change of venue.

Enterprise woman accused of killing toddler pleads not guilty to capital murder​

An Enterprise woman accused of killing her toddler entered a plea of not guilty during her first court appearance Thursday morning.

Adrienne Reid stood before Judge Sonny Reagan at the Coffee County Courthouse to face three charges, including capital murder, in connection with the death of her daughter, 2-year-old Genesis.

Reid, who is currently being held in the Houston County Jail, was transported to Enterprise for the arraignment.

The plea comes just a month after officials officially called off the physical search for Genesis’s remains. Despite the absence of a body—a critical piece of physical evidence—prosecutors are moving forward with the capital murder case. Coffee County District Attorney James Tarbox previously stated that investigators have compiled more than enough evidence to support the charges.
