BREAKING: MISSING ELLA, HELD BY CONVICTED FELON 3 WEEKS, FOUND

As the public becomes aware of Ella Jones's disappearance, the Mount Vernon Police Department receives information on a possible suspect's identity.

The person was already said to be a male named "Keith," possibly around 30 years old. Investigators determined that Ella Jones may have used a ride-share service when she left her home. Mount Vernon Police look into a ride Jones may have taken and identify a man named "Keith" who ordered a ride share for Ella. His address is in South Haven Michigan.

The Van Buren County Michigan Sherrif's Department investigated the possible suspect's location and identified the car suspected of transporting the 14-year-old girl 2,000 miles from Washington to Michigan. After obtaining a search warrant, Sheriff Abbott says they waited for the suspect vehicle to return to the property before executing the search warrants. The suspect immediately told detectives the 14-year-old girl was there on the property. Once the suspect was read his Miranda rights, he lawyered up and stopped talking

The suspect is 30-year-old Keith Freerksen, a convicted felon. Sheriff Daniel Abbott says the Freerksen spoke with and groomed the victim online over an extended period before she took a ride share to the suspect's home in Michigan.

Keith Freerksen was arraigned on nine charges: two counts of trafficking a minor, three counts of third-degree criminal sexual conduct involving a minor, one count of first-degree criminal sexual conduct, one count of accosting a child for immoral purposes, and two counts of using a computer to commit a crime. He faces up to life in prison if convicted.
