( CNN ) -- The Missouri man charged in the death of 12-year-old Adriaunna Horton made his first court appearance Monday to answer charges of murder , forceable rape , statutory rape and child kidnapping . Adriaunna was playing with her sisters in a park in Golden City last Monday when two other children saw her climb into a blue SUV . A state trooper arrested Bobby Bourne at a traffic stop in Golden City that night , driving the same SUV , and arrested him for child kidnapping . Though Bourne initially denied having anything to do with Adriaunna 's disappearance , he admitted during questioning that he was the one who picked her up and said he merely asked her about her father , Barton County Deputy Sheriff Vernon Ring said . Bourne said Adriaunna ran away from him , fell down , and died from the fall . He led investigators to a wooded area where they found the girl 's body , which had evidence of sexual assault and strangulation , Ring said . CNN affiliate KOLR reported the four charges Bourne now faces and said he attended his arraignment in a bulletproof vest , along with nine guards and a K9 unit . It could not immediately be determined if Bourne was being represented by an attorney . Golden City is in a rural section of southwest Missouri , about 25 miles east of the Kansas border . CNN 's Jennifer Feldman and Mayra Cuevas contributed to this report .
