A preliminary autopsy showed no physical damage. Family members will have to wait for lab results to reveal more answers. "I just feel like somebody ripped my heart out. I'm just empty. There's a big ol' hole there," said Bonnie Lockaby, Kayly's biological mother.
While investigators aren't saying foul play, a man is behind bars. Deputies found Skyler Barnett in the home near where Lockaby's body was found. He's now in the Whitley County Detention Center charged with unlawful transaction with a minor, possession of a controlled substance, and drug paraphernalia. Lockaby's mother says he's led her daughter down a bad road before. "He just introduced her to substances and doing drugs, and she gained an addiction to it," she said.
