(CNN) -- Virginia police detectives talked Sunday for the first time with a 12-year-old Virginia girl and the man who allegedly kidnapped her and has been deemed a prime suspect in her mother's death. Roanoke County police Detective John McPhail said that Sunday morning he and three colleagues discussed the death of 41-year-old Tina Smith with Jeffrey Scott Easley, currently in police custody in San Francisco, California, on warrants for abduction, credit card theft and credit card fraud. While police are investigating Tina Smith's death as a homicide, they have not said how she died. They also talked with Brittany Mae Smith, Tina's daughter, who police had been searching for since Monday. McPhail said the girl "will be heading back to Roanoke soon," but did not disclose when exactly that might happen.
