Police find missing baby after three days of search

After wasting the entire day looking for a missing child in a stolen car, two Indianapolis police officers decided to eat and collect themselves.

The 2010 black Honda Accord remained missing on December 22, despite earlier that day's arrest of a woman accused of stealing the car. Further complicating matters, the newborn Kason Thomass, who was in the car with his twin Kyair Thomass when it was stolen in Columbus, Ohio, three days prior, had not yet been located.

"It was time for us to decompress because we were disappointed that we could not find him," Sgt. Shawn Anderson of the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department told CNN affiliate WISH-TV. "And then God opened up the heavens to us and almost took him and put him right in our hands."

The stolen car was there, in front of a Papa John's in the same shopping centre where Anderson and Sgt. Richard El had stopped for lunch. Inside was Kason. The five-month-old had been absent for over three whole days, and most likely had been by himself.

"When we found him, he was cold, right, but he was awake, he was breathing, he was moving around a little bit," El said in an interview with WBNS-TV. "His eyes were open wide and just trying to take everything in."

According to Kason's family, he is progressing as one should anticipate given the circumstances, the station claimed. The twins' grandmother, LaFonda Thomass, expressed her shock at the finding.

She assured WBNS-TV that this Christmas will be the finest one yet. "I'm overjoyed. It is miraculous."

On December 19, Kason and Kyair Thomass were left in the moving vehicle as their mother went to Columbus to pick up a DoorDash order. According to Columbus police, when she came back, the twins and the automobile had vanished.

On December 20, early in the morning, Kyair was discovered abandoned close to the Dayton International Airport, according to the authorities. However, Kason wouldn't be discovered for several days until he was 175 miles away in Indianapolis.

Nalah Jackson, 24, the suspect, was detained in Columbus while she awaited extradition on two felony kidnapping charges. According to an online docket, a Franklin County Court warrant was issued for Jackson's detention. According to online court records, Jackson has also been accused of battery of bodily waste by the Marion County Sheriff's Office.
