Columbus police charge suspect with kidnapping, believe she may be in Dayton
“I’m hoping that reward can make something happen,” he said. “Any lead that helps me find the child, I will give them their $10,000.”
Columbus Division of Police Sgt. Jeff Mooney told The Dispatch a scammer contacted Kason’s mother via text asking for a $650 ransom for Kason’s safe return, but law enforcement has confirmed that phone number is not connected to Jackson. GoFundMe has since taken the fundraiser down because raising money for a ransom violates their terms and conditions, a GoFundMe employee told The Dispatch.
“We’ve got quite a few family members in the mix today so, we’re just trying to figure out what the best plan of action is,” she said.
