3 arrested in Sedalia in connection with Chicago-area child abduction case

COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ)

Three people were charged in Pettis County on Tuesday in connection with a Chicagoland-area child abduction case.

Devetta Davis, Raven Johnson and Karon Nabors, all of Sedalia, were arrested and charged with being fugitives from out of state. All three are being held without bond. Arraignments for all three people were held on Wednesday morning.

The probable cause statement says the Missouri State Highway Patrol was informed about a “missing endangered juvenile from Will County, Illinois, who was residing with three wanted fugitives.” Will County is located to the southwest of Chicago.

Court documents say all three people were wanted for various Will County warrants. Davis was wanted on an April 10 warrant for child abduction, while Johnson had a 2023 warrant for larceny and Nabors had a warrant issued on March 27 for aggravated fleeing.

The statement says Missouri law enforcement on Monday found the residence the three suspects and the youth were staying and the child was found in the back of the home at 2:15 p.m. All three people were arrested without incident, according to court documents.
