Montgomery police say they've arrested Tasha Atchison and charged her with the death of Paul Tatum, Jr., who'd been reported missing yesterday.
Police have charged Atchison with murder. She is being held under a $75,000 bond.
Police say Sunday morning, they got a report of a missing person, Paul Tatum Jr. They say his stepson told them Tatum had not been seen since Saturday.
Police say they went to Tatum's home on Longview Court, where they say they discovered indications of foul play.
Police say at approximately 3 p.m. Sunday, ABI agents found a body later identified as Tatum's in Lowndes County off of Alabama Highway 21.
Police say Tatum, 65, and Atchison, 29, were acquaintances, but had been involved in an argument that escalated.
No other information has been released about how Tatum was killed.

I believe it should be noted that he was buying his meth from her. She also killed him in front of her children. That part has not been said yet. Real piece of work.

ok as for that "wow" person...tasha is my cousin and yes you are right she is no different than the rest...but i do not wish the death penalty on her! because she is family and unless you know the full situation then you have no room to say that she fully deserves the death penalty! she was close family but i never put anything past her...but still we love her regardless and would appreciate it if yall would please stop making these accusations when you really dont know nothing about it! and for that anonymous dude that said she is not human?! really?? she is my family and im so sick of hearing yall downgrade her...(which you know i understand but keep the comments to yourself) and i dont think you would want your kids reading this about you! and i know her kids could be keeping up with the story...so please at least watch your mouth out of respect for the kids! thanks

ok, since the first comment did not get posted...let me refresh...yes, her children were there...and so weere 3 other children that were not hers...a six yr old and a nine yr old watched the murder, and her 12yr old helped her wrap the body and put it in the truck...david had four fatal stab wounds, 13 defense wounds, and then he was shot..overkill..and this was someone he trusted...alot..and cared for..she should get the death penalty..he bled out, so he suffered...and she should suffer too..and to the "cousin"....you have serious issues if you think the kids dont laready know..they watched it..those poor kids will forever be scarred from what they saw...reading any of this isnt gonna hurt them any more than their mama already has...
