Infant boy recovered in Indiana after kidnapping

A 5-month old baby who was kidnapped alongside his twin this week was found safe outside a Papa John’s near Indianapolis, police revealed.

Kason Thomass (photo) “is in good health and being transported to a hospital to be checked out,” police said in a tweet.

“We are grateful to the public for their help throughout this investigation, and for the tireless work of our officers and our many partner agencies.”

The discovery came hours after the arrest of kidnapping suspect, Nalah Jackson. Authorities said she is not cooperating with the investigation.

Kason and Kyair Thomass were both inside a 2010 Honda Accord when it was stolen on Monday night outside a Donatos Pizza restaurant. Their mother, Wilhelmina Thomass, was working as a DoorDash driver at the time. She went into the restaurant to pick up an order, but her car was gone when she returned, according to CNN.

Kyair was later found abandoned near the Dayton

International Airport around 4:15 a.m. Tuesday, but there was no trace of Kason until Thursday. Authorities received a tip about the missing baby and found him safe inside the Honda. The stolen car was parked outside a Papa John’s Pizzeria.

LaFonda Thomass, the twins’ grandmother, told WBNS being reunited with both boys felt like “a miracle.”

“This is gonna be the best Christmas ever. I’m so excited.” she said.

“And without everyone aiding us in the search and doing whatever they could, whether it be just a prayer, a phone call, a text, or a message, just to tell us that they’re thinking of us, and they have Kason in their hearts and in their prayers.” LaFonda Thomass continued. “It’s just ...

I don’t know I’m overwhelmed right now.”

Columbus Police Deputy Chief Smith Weir told reporters authorities had received “over three dozen tips” since Wednesday from people across the state. The department’s hotline late Thursday received several calls from people who believed they had spotted Jackson in Indianapolis and officers “implored” the witnesses to call 911.

IMPD informed Columbus police around 2 p.m. they had stopped an individual who they believed to be Jackson.
