(AP) ? A 14-year-old boy was charged Friday with murdering his half-sister, who was found hanging from a tree outside their home where the children lived with their aunt and uncle, authorities said. The half-siblings were living with their aunt and uncle in the rural town about 40 miles northeast of Birmingham as part of a foster home situation, Surles said. Yellow police tape was strung around a couple trees outside the home along a one-lane road and a small bicycle with pink handle bars was parked out front. A call came into the sheriff's department about 8:10 p.m. and by the time investigators arrived, rescuers had removed the girl from the tall hardwood tree. Authorities did not release the names of the aunt and uncle, but neighbor Ricky Campbell, whose daughter often played with the slain girl, identified them as Jerry and Teresa McMahan and an address search shows a couple by that name living on that road.
