Police fears are growing over the disappearance of 24-year-old Savannah Barton, last seen at an Economy Inn in Springfield, Missouri at 9am on Sunday, April 15.
On Monday, April 16, the Springfield Police Department sought help from the public as they began investigating a report of a possible abduction and missing and endangered person.
Now though, three days on from her last sighting, the authorities are beginning to fear the worst …
Missouri police believe there’s a possibility Savannah could have been kidnapped at gunpoint by three individuals.
Following a tip-off, officers were later able to locate and apprehend the three suspects – two males and one female – who were arrested on suspicion of kidnapping. However, Savannah wasn’t with them when police made the arrests, forcing them to consider the prospect that harm may have befallen her.
