Parents now suspects in case of missing
Conway girl
From staff reports
Conway police announced Tuesday morning the parents of a missing
4-year-old Conway girl are suspects in her disappearance.

Chief Sam Hendrick said the "available information did not support the
information given by the mother" regarding Kynande Bennett's alleged
disappearance from a Kmart in Whiteville, N.C., on Sept. 29, as Vartasha
McCullough had first reported to police there.

Kynande's parents, McCullough and Kevin Bennett, were not in police
custody or had not been charged with any crime, but Hendrick said he
anticipated an arrest in the case. He declined to say who might be charged,
but said the parents are equal suspects.
