Five illegal immigrants were arrested in Missouri early Monday morning for allegedly kidnapping a teenage girl in Indiana.
Missouri State Highway Patrol troopers received a report of a missing 14-year-old girl in Cass County, Indiana, around 2:00 a.m. on June 17.
According to court documents, the girl’s father witnessed her getting into what was later determined to be a black Dodge Durango with an unknown registration number, and reported the incident to the Logansport Police Department.
The Cass County Sheriff’s Office said officers received a call reporting the missing girl’s cell phone ringing from the suspect’s vehicle, which had a Texas registration, traveling west on U.S. 36 near Hannibal, Missouri.
