ORLANDO (CBSMiami/AP) — Two Orlando area men accused in the death of a 14-year-old girl they reportedly prostituted are behind bars.

Avorice Jeno Holman, 19, and Jose Ignacia Santiago-Sotomayor, 22, are being held without bond.

Investigators are searching for two other men in connection with the girl's August 14 death. All four face charges including first-degree murder, human trafficking of a child and procuring a minor for prostitution.

Police began their investigation after the girl overdosed on drugs and was taken to a hospital. Since August, police conducted interviews and pulled text messages and video surveillance.

An affidavit says the men used Backpage.com to find clients and drove the girls to meeting locations.
