A chance encounter led to the capture of a suspected kidnapper, Nalah T. Jackson, and the discovery of missing Columbus twin Kason Thomas.
A chance encounter outside of an Indianapolis gas station started a series of events that would lead to theand the discovery of a missing 5-month-old baby, according to the women who helped solve the case.
Police radio communications, social media posts and what little authorities have released about the case line up with what Delmar and her cousin told IndyStar.Delmar said she met the woman who called herself"Mae," bought toys from her and then gave her a ride to a Family Dollar down the street. When the woman started acting erratically, Delmar recorded video of her on her phone.
They got frustrated and hung up, and took the woman to several more stores hoping she would shoplift and draw authorities' attention. They worried taking her to a police station might cause her to run. Curry said she showed police a screenshot of Jackson’s mugshot and after comparing the woman in the car, the officer decided she did in fact appear to be Jackson and took her into custody about 2 p.m. Thursday.The cousins' actions leading to the traffic stop were commended by detectives in Columbus investigating the case.
Since the stolen Honda that Jackson is accused of driving also was missing, they decided to trace the bus route and look for vehicles covered in snow that would indicate the car hadn't moved in a while. At that point, a dangerous winter storm was on the brink of reaching Indianapolis and snow had started falling.Street and then they drove to a shopping center in Speedway and checked out several cars there without success.
