KANSAS CITY, Missouri – According to KCPD, a Historic Northeast resident was likely kidnapped outside of his home yesterday evening.

The KCPD Sex Crimes unit is asking for help locating Cristian Escutia, 19, who witnesses observed being led from his residence last night and put into a light blue Chrysler Pacifica (unknown year) under duress. The witnesses told authorities that the vehicle then departed the area at a high rate of speed.

KCPD is asking anyone who has seen Escutia or who believes they may have observed the light blue Chrysler Pacifica in question to call 911, or the TIPS hotline at (816) 474-8477.

A KCPD representative told the Northeast News that the Sex Crimes unit handles all kidnapping investigations.
