The report says that Crider is believed to have a terminal illness, and she just wanted to do a few things before she passed away.

Crider has moved out of the apartment four times before without letting her husband know where she was going according to the report.

Mansfield Police provided WMFD with this recent picture of Crider, taken a few days before she was reported missing. Crider is 5′ 8″ tall, weighing about 170 pounds, and could be traveling to the Newark Ohio area.

Police searched vacant homes in the area, but nothing was found. This is a routine check during a missing person investigation.

If you have information about Crider’s whereabouts please call the Mansfield Police Department at (419) 522-1234 or Detective Rich Miller at (419) 755-9758.

Deputies in Laurel County say they thought they were responding to an armed kidnapping Wednesday, but now investigators say a man made the entire story up.

Deputies say 19-year-old Eric Young reported that he was kidnapped at gunpoint, triggering a large police response to help him out.

“We put down everything else that we’re doing because this is really bad news if this really happened, but it didn’t happen, so it’s really frustrating to us,” said Gilbert Acciardo with the Laurel County Sheriff’s Office.

Deputies found Young walking on Tom Cat Trail. They say this is where he pulled out his phone and called 911, saying he escaped his kidnapper.

“This is a major felony he’s talking about. You know, taken at gunpoint and held against your will,” said Acciardo.

Deputies say instead of being kidnapped, Young actually spent a couple days smoking marijuana and meth.

“He was still intoxicated whenever we located him so the incident didn’t even occur.,” said Acciardo.

Deputies took Young to jail. He was charged with public intoxication and falsely reporting an incident.

The Camas Police Department on Wednesday said it’s no closer in finding a teen reported missing last week, and it thanked community members for tips provided.

Cole Burbank, 16, was last seen on surveillance footage April 13 at Camas High School, said Sgt. Scot Boyles. Burbank drove away from the school in a black 2010 Honda Accord with Washington plates AKW3441.

Police have received reports he was seen at Clark College, where he was likely headed for class, but they haven’t visually confirmed he was at the college despite viewing surveillance footage and talking to witnesses, Boyles said.

“Unfortunately, at this point, none of the tips have given authorities any information as to Cole’s current whereabouts,” Boyles said in a news release.

His school released surveillance footage showing he wore a plaid, long-sleeve shirt, jeans and a baseball hat. He stands 5 feet 10 inches and weighs about 140 pounds, police have said.

Investigators have received helped from the Vancouver Police Department’s Digital Evidence Cybercrime Unit, which looked for cellular and online clues, and the Clark County Sheriff’s Office Search and Rescue Teams, which have searched many square miles of heavily wooded areas nearby.

A Facebook group created by family and friends has been used to help coordinate volunteer efforts and provide links to GoFundMe website to help the family. Anyone who spots the teen is asked to call 911 right away.

The man facing attempted murder and arson charges after allegedly firing several gunshots at his wife and starting a house fire was in court Wednesday.

A family member of his soon-to-be ex-wife also was there and said she’s recovering from her injuries. Back on April 5, neighbors said they saw Hord and his ex-wife arguing before he fired shots.

She was taken to the hospital with minor injuries.

Some neighbors said they were shocked to hear about the accusations because they viewed Hord as a nice man.

Maryiah Coleman was walking her family’s dog on Winburn Drive when she was shot. She and her unborn son, Jakobe, died at UK Hospital.  Coleman was not the intended recipient of the gunfire. Rather the three men are accused of attempting to rob someone they knew. When the intended victim tried to run, police say the suspects fired several shots and Coleman was hit.

Boaz, Freeman and Fain are also accused in an October shooting on Red Mile Road.

All four men are scheduled to be arraigned April 27.

Michelle and Matt Burbank, the parents of a Camas teen who has been missing since Thursday, wanted to get a message to their son through the media:

“Please let us know you are safe, we are very worried.”

Family members say Cole Burbank, 16, was last seen at Clark College at his 11 a.m. class, and his cell phone was last pinged shortly before 1 p.m.

“Cole, we just want to tell you that we love you very much and we want everything to be okay,” said his father, Matt Burbank. “Whatever is going on in your mind or life, we support you, we are here to help you. The most important thing to know is that you are safe. We are looking forward to you coming home and understand you may want to be with your friends for a while and that is okay.”

His parents, who were emotional in front of reporters outside Camas High School Sunday morning, hinted that he may be out there. His mother, Michelle, said they have heard of some leads that seem promising, but they have not been able to confirm anything.

Since the teenager’s disappearance was announced, hundreds of community members have stepped up.

Volunteers created a Facebook page to coordinate a search effort. As of Sunday afternoon more than 1,500 people were members of the group. Family friend Amy Hoffman says people have been searching as far north as Seattle. She says some have used planes, even drones.

“Thank everyone for helping,” said Michelle Burbank. “We are almost there, I know in my mother’s heart.”

Parents encourage the community to keep bringing leads to Camas Police. They aren’t giving up their search any time soon.

“If anyone else is involved in this situation directly, please reach out to us,” said Matt Burbank. “We will do whatever it takes to bring Cole home. Love, mom and dad.”
