What some officials are now referring to as the “leader” of the three suspects charged in the kidnapping of an 11-year-old from Zanesville has arrived in Wells County.
Zachary Delozier, 27, South Dakota, arrived at the Wells County Jail at 8:07 p.m. Thursday. He is currently being held without bond.
Delozier was charged with kidnapping, a Level 5 felony, after he and two others were located in a traffic stop in Barneveld, Wisconsin, with the missing child one day after a Silver Alert was issued.
Sara Gaudino, 23, and Isaiah Schryvers, 24, also of South Dakota, have not yet arrived in the state to face their charges. However, both suspects have waived extradition and are expected to arrive soon.
Sheriff Scott Holliday and Det. Chip Swindell with the Wells County Sheriff’s Department drove together on the 16-hour roundtrip to pick up both Delozier and the van that was allegedly used in the abduction. Upon first look, the van appeared dirty and unkempt.
Delozier does not have a date set for his initial hearing in the Wells Circuit Court at the time of print. All three suspects face up to six years incarcerated for a Level 5 felony for kidnapping.
It is not yet clear if further charges will be added as the investigation unfolds.
