A La Cygne woman has been identified as a suspect in connection with an abduction and high speed chase Thursday, that started in Kansas City and ended on U.S. 69 in Miami County.
Forty two year old Carol Lynn Loving has been arrested and is being held in Wyandotte County Jail, pending formal charges, including Felony Theft, Kidnapping in Commission of a Crime and Attempting to Elude a Law Enforcement Officer. Police received a 911 call about 11:30 Thursday morning reporting the abduction of a two year old boy from the 2800 block of Freeman Court in Kansas City.
The suspect reportedly had stolen a vehicle with the child inside, according to initial reports. The pursuit reached speeds of more than 100 miles an hour as the suspect fled on I-35 and then continued south on U.S. 69. The pursuit ended at about 234th Street on U.S. 69 in Miami County when the Highway Patrol deployed stop sticks to disable the vehicle. There were no injuries and the child was reunited with his family. The case remains under investigation.
