(CNN) -- A convicted sex offender facing capital murder charges in the killing of a 9-year-old Florida girl told investigators he buried her alive, law enforcement sources told CNN Friday night.

John Evander Couey, 46, who officials said confessed to the crimes, is charged with capital murder, burglary with battery, kidnapping and sexual battery on a child younger than 12.

Earlier Friday, prosecutors said the girl police believe was assaulted and slain by a convicted sex offender living in a neighboring home, might still have been alive when police visited that home during a canvass of the neighborhood, according to documents released by prosecutors.

Police twice visited the half-sister's home while interviewing residents during the search for Jessica.

"Couey's timeline after the events after he kidnapped Jessica Lunsford leaves open the possibility that she was alive, and in the house, at the time of the first, and possibly the second, interview," said a memo released by prosecutors.

2. The link

And it says that Couey confessed that she was alive when he buried her body.

It's also making the rotation on CNN-HN.

3. What a cruel man. I have such a hard time imagining how

people can be so hurtful, especially to a child, yet they are. This hurts all our souls, I think, when someone does this and other acts of evil.
