Baby kidnapped from central Indiana found hours later at Louisville bus station<\/p>\n

\"AlexLOUISVILLE, Ky. \u2014<\/p>\n

A baby abducted from central Indiana was recovered safely just hours later at a Louisville bus station.<\/p>\n

Her suspected kidnapper is now in jail.<\/p>\n

A 6-month-old named Adalyn disappeared Thursday just before 6 p.m. from West Lafayette, about three hours north.<\/p>\n

Police said she was abducted by 22-year-old Jasmine O\u2019Sullivan, of Georgia.<\/p>\n

According to investigators, O’Sullivan used someone else’s identity to gain the trust of baby Adalyn’s mother in the days prior.<\/p>\n

Investigators coordinated with regional, state, and federal law enforcement, put out information, and got a lead she was on a bus headed to Louisville.<\/p>\n

Officers with LMPD’s First Division, specialized task force personnel and SWAT prepared for the bus’s arrival, and at around 10:15 p.m., officers found O’Sullivan and the baby at the Greyhound Bus Station on West Muhammad Ali Boulevard.<\/p>\n

The FBI took her into custody and reunited the baby with her family at Norton Children’s Hospital.<\/p>\n

O’Sullivan is now facing a federal kidnapping charge, according to LMPD.<\/p>\n

The person whose identity was used was not involved, officials said. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Baby kidnapped from central Indiana found hours later at Louisville bus station LOUISVILLE, Ky. \u2014 A baby abducted…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":796248,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[337934,31264,337944,337935,4,450,337943,337936,2765,337942,51229,337947,681,337938,451,37914,12177,2652,28339,337941,137796,7737,337937,3,139458,337940,262114,15195,22215,337945,337948,337946,452,453,95082,337939],"class_list":["post-796247","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-breaking-news","tag-adalyn","tag-baby","tag-baby-abducted","tag-baby-kidnapping","tag-breaking-news","tag-breakingnews","tag-bus-headed-to-louisville","tag-central-indiana","tag-fbi","tag-federal-kidnapping","tag-federal-law-enforcement","tag-first-division","tag-georgia","tag-greyhound-bus-station","tag-headlines","tag-hour","tag-identity","tag-indiana","tag-investigator","tag-jasmine-osullivan","tag-lmpd","tag-louisville","tag-louisville-bus-station","tag-news","tag-norton-children","tag-norton-childrens-hospital","tag-osullivan","tag-officer","tag-p-m","tag-regional-law-enforcement","tag-specialized-task-force-personnel","tag-state-law-enforcement","tag-top-stories","tag-topstories","tag-west-lafayette","tag-west-muhammad-ali-boulevard"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/796247","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=796247"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/796247\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/796248"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=796247"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=796247"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=796247"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
