The search for a missing Monroe county two-year old has come to a tragic end Monday night.
Troopers with Kentucky State Police found the body of Laynee Wallace not far from where she was reported missing.
All this comes hours after they arrested the man, twenty-five year old Anthony Barbour, who’s accused of taking her.

Kentucky State Police had been on the hunt for Barbour since last Sunday, when they say he took his girlfriend’s two-year old daughter.
Considered armed and dangerous, investigators canvassed the county for more than a week and found Barbour Monday afternoon with a stroke of luck.
Police say a woman, who lives near Temple Hill Road, came home this afternoon to find Barbour was waiting for her.
That woman’s cousin, who lives across the street says he saw what happened next.
“Mr. Barbour was in her house and he had a rifle at that time and he asked her to get in the truck drive her to Glasgow,” said Carey Harvey, victim’s cousin. “So she started down the road and the Kentucky State Police was going the other directions and happen to see him.”
Carey says the trooper noticed his cousin was not wearing a seat belt and pulled her over for a traffic stop and then noticed Barbour in the truck.
Hours after his arrest, troopers say they found Wallace’s body in a well just a few miles from the home she shared with Barbour and her mother
Troopers say Wallace’s body will be taken to Louisville for an autopsy, where they will determine the cause of death.
No word yet what charges Barbour is facing.
