BATON ROUGE, La. (WAFB) – A multi-statewide agency search led to the finding of a missing East Baton Rouge Parish teenager in a basement in Pennsylvania. <\/p>\n

At least two people are facing charges in connection with the disappearance of the teen.<\/p>\n

Ki-Shawn Crumity, 26, has a list of charges, including trafficking in individuals, statutory sexual assault, and involuntary deviate sexual intercourse. <\/p>\n

According to the U.S. Marshals Office, Ronald Smith, 62, of New Orleans, was arrested in Columbus, Ga., for simple kidnapping and contributing to the delinquency of a juvenile. <\/p>\n

WAFB has not yet received Smith\u2019s mugshot. <\/p>\n

The teen girl was first reported missing in October. <\/p>\n

Officials received information from the State of Louisiana\u2019s Attorney General\u2019s Office Cyber Crime Unit, revealing the missing teen may have had online contact with an unknown adult male.<\/p>\n

Officials say the teen boarded a Greyhound bus in Baton Rouge earlier in the week.<\/p>\n

It was then reported that the teen was allegedly traveling on a bus from Columbus, GA., to Pittsburgh, PA.<\/p>\n

On Thursday, several agencies worked together to locate the missing teen in the basement of a home in Pennsylvania.<\/p>\n

Investigators say they found a woman and a man, both from the Washington, DC area, in the basement with the teen. <\/p>\n

More arrests are pending. <\/p>\n

This is an ongoing investigation. <\/p>\n
