Neighbors arrested in case of missing pregnant woman after newborn found
The neighbors of a missing pregnant woman from North Dakota have been charged in connection to her disappearance.
William Henry Hoehn, 32, and Brooke Lynn Crews, 38, were arrested Thursday after police searched and found a newborn in the pair’s North Fargo apartment where 22-year-old Savanna Greywind was last spotted.
Greywind, who is eight months pregnant, was reported missing Saturday after she visited their apartment for a dress fitting and never returned home.
Fargo police said they previously searched the apartment three times with consent from the tenants but nothing unusual was found.
“In the initial missing person’s investigation, interviews were conducted with Crews and Hoehn and no leads were developed,” police said in a statement. “Crews indicated that Savanna had left the apartment after helping her with the sewing project.”
Authorities then executed a search warrant Thursday and discovered Crews home with a newborn girl.
The baby is healthy and was taken to a hospital for DNA testing to confirm that she is Greywind’s daughter.
“Our investigation thus far indicates the probability that this is Savanna Greywind’s child,” police said.
Hoehn and Crews were taken into custody and charged with conspiracy to commit kidnapping.
Meanwhile, police said they are continuing their search for Greywind.
“We are asking area residents to check their out buildings (garages, sheds, gazebos, fenced yards, etc.) for any signs of suspicious activity or evidence, which may assist us in locating Savanna Greywind,” police said.
Anyone with information about Greywind or a 1996 Jeep Grand Cherokee with the Minnesota license plates 876 EPR is asked to call 701-235-7335.
