SUGARCREEK TWP, OH. (THECOUNT) — Jacob Caldwell, the Ohio boy who went missing for more than a year after witnessing a Sugarcreek murder – has been found alive in a basement, authorities said.
Police believe Caldwell, 15, ran away from the home of his grandparents, who were granted emergency temporary custody of him and his brothers, after Jacob’s father, Robert Caldwell, was shot and killed by his ex-wife, Tawnney Caldwell, on Aug. 15, 2017, a local news outlet reported.
Jacob had last been seen Aug. 21, 2017, in front of a Walmart in Sugarcreek Township, Sugarcreek Township Police Chief Michael Brown said at a press conference Tuesday.
Jacob was found at a home about 40 miles away in Miami Township late Monday night after an individual called investigators earlier that day with “very credible” information on his location, Brown said.
Authorities obtained a search warrant late Monday after getting word Jacob may soon be moved, Brown said. When police arrived at the home, they found that Jacob had been living in the basement with four adults.
