Two Bodies Found on Evans Drive; Death Investigation Underway

(DOTHAN, Ala.)  On July 27, 2026, just before 2:00 pm, the Dothan Police Department was called to a residence in the 2600 block of Evans Drive for a medical call.  The caller told dispatch he was checking on family members who had not been heard from for some time and found two individuals in the living room of the home.  It was obvious the two individuals were deceased as they were both in an advanced state of decomposition, which makes identification and cause of death impossible to determine without an autopsy.

Due to the circumstances, criminal investigators and forensic services personnel were called to the scene.  According to investigators, the residence had been without active utilities or active running water for over a month.  While it is unusual to find two deceased bodies in a residence in Dothan, investigators noted there were no obvious signs of violence in the home and no signs of forced entry.  As is standard with all suspicious deaths, both bodies have been sent to Montgomery for an autopsy and positive identification.

Investigators will continue to follow the leads on the case until autopsy results are complete.  There is no ongoing danger to the community.  We will update the case as more information becomes available.

Man Arrested for Sexual Related Charges After Providing Ride to Victim

On June 6, 2026, the Dothan Police Department met with a victim at a residence for reports of false imprisonment and sexual abuse that occurred near the intersection of South Park Avenue and Selma Street.  The victim told officers she knew the suspect, Edward Gamalier Morena Guevara, as an acquaintance that drove for a ride-share service.  The victim knew Guevara would provide rides without going through the ride-share services.  On June 6th, the victim received a ride from Guevara from Ozark to a residence in Dothan.

The victim told investigators Guevara arrived close to the residence and pulled over into a parking lot.  Guevara requested sexual favors and refused to let the victim leave until sexual favors were performed.  The victim refused, and Guevara left the parking lot to continue to drive around.  Guevara went by the victim’s residence several times without stopping.  When it was clear Guevara would not stop until the victim complied, the victim complied with the request in order to get Guevara to let her leave the vehicle.  Once the victim was allowed to leave, the police were contacted.

After an investigation, warrants were obtained for Guevara’s arrest two days later.  Investigators went to the address on file but were unable to locate Guevara.  On July 19, 2026, Guevara was found in Huntsville, AL and arrested on the warrants obtained.  Guevara was charged with Sexual Abuse 1st degree, Unlawful Imprisonment 2nd degree, and Indecent Exposure.  Guevara was transported by and booked into the Houston County Jail.  Guevara is being held without bond.
