Police: Kidnap suspect used tunnels and hideouts
A man charged with kidnapping a teen was already wanted on a sexual misconduct warrant, law enforcement officials said. The 14-year-old victim was found hidden in a 15-foot-deep hole. The bunker had a hand-dug privy with toilet paper, a camp stove and shelves made with cut branches and canvas
Filyaw, 37, will be charged with kidnapping, possession of an incendiary device and impersonating an officer, McCaskill said.
Shoaf was kidnapped September 6 after getting off a school bus
in this rural area 10 miles northeast of Columbia.
Investigators said Filyaw posed as a police officer when he met Shoaf and the girl was walked around in the woods by her captor until she became disoriented. He used handmade grenades and a flare gun to threaten her while she was in the bunker, McCaskill said.
