A man wanted in a killing in College Station in Pulaski County was listed as an "associated adult" Thursday evening in an alert about a missing child.
Ivianna Jordan, 4, of North Little Rock left with her great-uncle at 2 p.m. Thursday, according to the Arkansas AMBER Alert. Ivianna's grandmother returned home shortly after 6:30 p.m. Thursday to find the child and child's great-uncle gone, the alert says.
It says the grandmother had been in contact with the great-uncle, and that he confirmed that he had the child, but he was unwilling to provide his whereabouts.
The alert lists the "associated adult" as Brodrick Hardman, 44, who authorities said earlier Thursday was accused of first-degree murder in connection with a body found shortly after 1 a.m. Thursday near the 4000 block of East 37th Street in College Station, sheriff’s office spokeswoman Kristin Knox said.
