Hubbard and a few other relatives drove down from Missouri as soon as they got the news, and they came by the home to lay flowers outside the front door.
"All of my family and friends that I've been corresponding with over this, you can't even put words to it almost," Hubbard said."I mean when my daughter called and told me… I can't believe this.

Officers found Hughes about a block away from the home Sunday morning, in front of Richland Middle School, and took him into custody.
