Columbus Police did not immediately respond to inquiries regarding the child’s death or whether charges would be upgraded to murder for Nalah Jackson, 24, who was criminally charged in two states after a three-day hunt after allegedly kidnapping the twin, then, 5-month-old boys.
Jackson was ultimately arrested in Indianapolis on Dec. 22, 2022, and charged with felony battery of bodily waste, according to Marion County, Indiana jail records. She was then extradited to Columbus, Ohio, where Jackson was to face two counts of kidnapping.

Ky’air Thomas was found abandoned but safe at the Dayton International Airport, nearly 70 miles from the pizza restaurant the vehicle was taken from.
Kason Thomas was still missing until Dec. 22, when the vehicle Jackson was accused of taking was found parked outside of a Papa Johns in Indianapolis.
