JONESBORO, Ark. – A family was fortunate to be reunited with their missing 16-year-old Valley View student who was seen getting to a car Monday morning.
Here’s the news release from Cpl. David McDaniel:
Detectives with the Jonesboro Police Department received information that the vehicle seen in the video footage belonged to 24 year old Keegan Bryce Tatsch of Poplar Bluff, MO. Investigators were able to determine that Tatsch was employed in Pocahontas, AR and contact with Tatsch was made at his place of employment.
Tatsch told Officers that he had been in contact with Sloane through a chat-based app and he drove to Jonesboro to pick her up. From there Sloane was taken to his home in Missouri and he then went to work.
A request was made of Butler County Sheriff’s Deputies to attempt to contact Sloane at Tatsch’s residence in Poplar Bluff, MO. Deputies were able to locate Sloane at the home and she was given safely back to the custody of her parents.
Tatsch was placed under arrest and charged with Interference with Custody which is a Class C Felony. Detectives are hopeful to have Tatsch in court soon for a Probable Cause Hearing.
