Flomaton Attempted Murder, Child Torture Suspects Extradited To Alabama

September 6, 2026

Two Flomaton parents have been extradited back to Alabama to face charges in connection with the abuse of a 15-year-old child.

Eric Douglas McClure, 41, and Cynthia Danielle Tedder, 36, are both behind bars in the Escambia County Detention Center in Brewton on charges of attempted murder and torture and willful abuse of a child under 18 years of age by a responsible person. Both are being held without bond.

The Flomaton Police Department was notified about the child’s critical condition around 5:13 a.m. on September 1 by Ascension Sacred Heart Hospital in Pensacola. They were arrested by Florida authorities as fugitives from justice.

Flomaton investigators obtained the willful abuse charges, and then filed upgraded attempted murder charges in cooperation with the Escambia County (AL) District Attorney’s Office after a search warrant was served Tuesday afternoon at the couple’s home on Titi Street in Flomaton.

FPD has not detailed the allegations against McClure and Tedder.

Police said the case remains an active investigation. Anyone with information related to the case is asked to contact Lt. Thaihee Staples at the Flomaton Police Department at (251) 296-5811.

    This is very surprising but..knowing the rest of the family I can’t say it wasn’t at least a little expected…I truly am ashamed to say I am related to these sick people…

    My daughter is a sophomore in high school. She knew this little girl. She said she hadn’t seen her since kindergarten or first grade she was all broke up after realizing she actually was in the same class as this young lady. So sad. I think sometimes the law should be swift when crimes of this nature happen. A huge drWn out trial and lengthy prison sentence aren’t sufficient. Off with their heads

    I just hope that child will be placed with people who will give him a good life.

    Bless that child’s heart. Whatever kind of monsters these two are, you’re time is coming around. Right back at you!
