ATCHISON COUNTY—Law enforcement authorities investigating a suspect on alleged child sex crimes have included a new charge.

On Thursday, Atchison Police arrested Osias W. Everson, 20, Deer Lodge Montana, on a State of Missouri warrant charging him with ‘child kidnapping,” according to Atchison Police Chief Mike Wilson.

Everson remains in the Atchison County Jail, already in custody on a charge of rape in connection to an investigation by Atchison Police.

Just before 10p.m. Tuesday, police in Kansas were notified that the Phelps County Missouri Sheriff’s Department was looking for a 13-year-old girl who had been missing since Monday night, according to Atchison Police Chief Mike Wilson.

Law enforcement had developed information that the girl was with a 20-year-old suspect and they were believed to be in the Atchison, Kansas, area.

Atchison Police officers located the suspect’s vehicle parked at a local hotel and subsequently located the 13-year-old runaway and the suspect at the hotel.

Police arrested Everson on requested charges of  rape and contributing to a child’s misconduct. 

 The 25th Judicial Circuit Court in Phelps County Missouri filed the child kidnapping charge on Wednesday. The bond on the Missouri warrant was set at $500,000.
