Investigators said they believe Kerley took the 3-year-old child from her home without permission from her family on Oct. 22 and was an acquaintance (although it was not clear how they knew each other).

After searching for multiple hours, the girl was found at a Westfield Township location with the suspect, investigators said.

In their indictment, the grand jury found “the defendant committed the offense of kidnapping with a sexual motivation.”
