ORLANDO, Fla. -- More disturbing details have been released in the attempted abduction of a 4-year-old Orange County girl.

Detectives said that Mauricio Reyes took the girl from her bedroom to the garage, laid her down on a blanket and bound and gagged her.

When Reyes left the garage, the girl was able to remove her binds and scream for her parents, detectives said.

The girl's parents confronted the man in a hallway, but he was able to get away.

Reyes, 44, was arrested Sunday night and charged with kidnapping after a four-day search for a man who entered the Orange County home early Thursday morning and tried to abduct the girl.

Detectives said they do not know why Reyes targeted the home, but beer cans found behind the home with Reyes' DNA on them suggest he spent time watching the home.

Detectives named Reyes as a suspect after examining the empty cans of Natural Ice beer left behind the house.

"One thing that put this guy in jail is that he's a litter bug. He should've picked up his empties or we wouldn't even have him right now," Sgt. Rich Mankewich of the Orange County Sheriff's Office said.

An empty can of beer yielded DNA and fingerprints, but a check of the statewide database came up empty.

Detectives then decided to follow the trail of beer cans to the nearest store, a Publix, where they looked up sales of Natural Ice.

"Publix pulled up all the names; we pulled videotape matching all the times of those sales," Mankewich said.

Surveillance footage from a home in the neighborhood showed a 2007 Jeep Patriot roaming the streets around the time of the break-in, so detectives compared owners of that vehicle to Publix surveillance footage and driver's license photos.

Detectives found a match with Reyes, and although he did not resemble the composite sketch of the man, lab results showed it was Reyes' DNA on the beer cans and his fingerprints on the window of the home that was broken into.

"My marching orders were to do whatever it takes, whatever we need to get this man in jail. and that's exactly what we did in this case," Mankewich said.

Detectives said the final piece of the puzzle came when Reyes confessed to breaking into the home, although he denied any intentions to assault the girl.

Detectives are also looking into past burglaries in the area to see if Reyes was involved. In 2007, a man broke into the bathroom window of a home and gagged an 8-year-old girl. The intruder was chased off by the girl's mother and police never found the man.

Reyes denied involvement in the 2007 incident, but detectives said they have DNA evidence.

Reyes has been charged with loitering and prowling four times in the past 20 years. Detectives said he would stand outside people's windows and masturbate.

Reyes is being held on no bond and has been taken off suicide watch.
