A man accused of kidnapping a 4-year-old Hidalgo girl told a judge that he just wants to die.

Christian McMillan was charged with kidnapping, aggravated sexual assault of a child and other criminal charges.

He's accused of kidnapping the girl from her near her home last Tuesday.

Authorities found her 24 hours later at a farm where McMillan lived outside Mercedes.

Officials say a valuable lesson can be learned from this abduction.

"He was casing the neighborhood for three days," Special FBI Agent John Johnson said.  "If you see a suspicious vehicle in your neighborhood, call police.  You never know what that person could be up to."

McMillan is facing up to 99 years or life in prison.
