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.

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.
