A police investigator has been fired and another has resigned for overlooking evidence which may have saved the life of a teenager who was raped and murdered.
Hania Noelia Aguilar, 13, was brutally killed in November.
Michael Ray McLellan, 34, has been charged with kidnapping her from her North Carolina home, raping her and then murdering her.
He has not yet entered a plea. He is accused of forcing the teenager into a vehicle after she left her home in Lumberton, North Carolina, in November.

Hania's body was found in a wooded area three weeks later. McLellan was arrested after police matched DNA found at the scene to his profile.
It has since emerged that police had DNA which linked him to a 2016 rape but that he was never arrested for it.
The revelation prompted Robeson County Sheriff to launch an internal investigation.
On Thursday, the sheriff announced that investigator Darryl McPhatter had been fired for his role in the investigation.
Another cop, Major Anthony Thompson, resigned January 9.
'The dedicated men and women of the Robeson County Sheriff's Office are proud public servants.
'My expectations of them are to serve the public with the utmost respect and to the best of their ability as trained law enforcement professionals,' Robeson County Sheriff Burnis Wilkins, Jr said in an online statement.
'It angers me and I've got to deal with it.

'To know that that happened, to know the reports didn't follow the proper channels, that further investigation wasn't done, interviews weren't done properly -- I have a major issue with that,' he added in a recent interview with ABC 11.
An email which described the DNA evidence from the 2016 rape was sent the sheriff's office by the DA in 2017.
But rather than issue a warrant, find him and test his DNA against it, it 'slipped through the cracks.'
'I don't know what happened, if it got lost at the sheriff's department, if it got buried on somebody's desk, if it got placed in records division there and just vanished.
'In all likelihood, had this gone forward and we established a case against him at that time, Hania would not have died.
'And for that, I can't tell you how much that hurts, I can't tell you how sorry I am,' Robeson County District Attorney Johnson Britt said in December.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
