Police say a man kidnapped and killed a MidMichigan teen.
Police found 15-year-old Taylor Manley and 38-year-old Raymond Bush dead in a vehicle Wednesday night.
They say he shot her multiple times, and then he killed himself.
Clare County Sheriff John Wilson says, "The suspect used to would come up and stay at a residence near their residence and they became friends with the family. The victim actually looked up to him as a big brother."
Prosecutors say, Bush betrayed that trust in July when he had sex with Taylor who's less than half his age.
The suspect was supposed to show up the 80th District Court. He never showed up, and that's when the sheriff's department took action.
"I had an idea that I didn't think she was going to show," says Michelle Ambrozaitis, Clare Co. Prosecutor.
That's because the Ambrozaitis received a call from Taylor's dad, who she was staying with, saying she was gone, with possible forcible entry to his house.
An Amber Alert went out for Taylor, and a bench warrant went out for Bush.
Taylor's dad also said Bush had been texting Taylor the day before, which was against the court order of no communication.
Bush was believed to be obsessed with her. He had a tattoo of her name on his back.
The prosecutor was contemplating aggravated harrassment charges, but when police found the two, they were dead in this vehicle in a Newport cemetery.
"Clearly, our hearts and prayers go out to the family. This is very devastating. She was a very bright young woman, vibrant, she was spunky and this is really sad," says Ambrozaitis.
"It's so shocking. I personally know this family. I know this girl. It's hard to look into a mother's eyes and tell her your daughter's not coming home."
Taylor had attended three local schools in Clare County.
All of them have grief counselors available for students.
