How FBI Helps Small Communities Investigate Big Crimes

Police in Peru, Illinois know last week’s reported kidnapping shocked a lot of people who just don’t expect it to happen in their community. 

 

FBI Special Agent Jonathan Williamson with the Child Abduction Rapid Deployment Team says nowhere’s immune. His team’s job is to get out to communities, big and small, and help them find and analyze clues. Small communities away from the big cities and suburbs usually don't have the big resources. The FBI got involved in the Peru case right away. It turns out, the person taken from a street in Peru last Monday morning wasn't a teenager as originally thought. Police found the woman, in her 20's, safe in Peoria.

 

 

Police are still looking for the suspect, 27-year old Bobby A. Cross of Peoria. Police have not said yet whether he'll face abduction charges.
