An infant Ohio boy was abducted alongside his twin when their mother’s car was stolen earlier this week — but while his brother was safely returned, the child remained missing Thursday, authorities said.
Five-month-olds Kason and Kyair Thomass were abducted in a black 2012 Honda Accord by a woman, identified as Nalah Jackson, 24. as their mom ran into a restaurant in Columbus Monday night, police said.
Kyair was later found abandoned near the Dayton International Airport around 4:15 a.m. Tuesday, but authorities are still searching for his brother and their alleged abductor.
“Nalah Jackson, I plead to you, please return Kason Thomass. We thank you for returning Kyair. You’ve already shown us you can do the right thing. You can return [Kason] to any safe location,” Columbus Police Chief Elaine Bryant said during a news conference Tuesday.
The twins’ mother, Wilhelmina, was picking up a DoorDash delivery order at Donatos Pizza around 9:45 p.m. Monday when she left the infants in the car, which was still running and unlocked, according to WBNS.
Jackson, who was inside the restaurant when Wilhelmina walked in, allegedly exited through the side door and drove off in the vehicle with the children in tow.
Authorities charged Jackson with two counts of kidnapping on Wednesday.
“I just miss my baby. I miss them being together and their smiles,” the twins’ mother told ABC 6 Tuesday night. “I can tell [Kyair] misses his brother.
“He loved eating; that’s why I am so so worried,” she said of Kason.
On Tuesday, police released surveillance images of Jackson at a Huber Heights gas station shortly after the abduction. She reportedly asked the employee for money before leaving in the stolen car.
She has not been located as of Thursday. The last confirmed sighting of Jackson was at the airport, where Kyair was found safe on Tuesday morning.
Franklin County Municipal Court records show that the mother-of-two has a criminal history, including charges of menacing and harassment related to an argument over custody of her son.
“If you have information you think can be helpful in helping us either locate Kason Thomass, locate Nalah Jackson, or even the vehicle, we want that information,” Bryant said.
The Columbus Police Department did not immediately reply to The Post’s request for a comment on the investigation.
The stolen vehicle Jackson is believed to be driving was recently purchased, so it does not have a license plate or registered VIN number.
There is a torn Ohio registration sticker on the rear bumper and a white “Westside City Toys” bumper sticker.
“If you look at [Kason] and you see anything, see a precious child who’s longing for his mother,” the twins’ grandmother, LaFonda Thomass, said at a vigil on Wednesday.
“We beg you, please, please, please do the right thing and just bring my baby home.”
