Columbus police continue search for 5-month-old twin kidnapped Monday; warn of scam

COLUMBUS, Ohio (WOIO) - Columbus police are continuing to search for the woman accused of stealing a car with infant twin brothers inside. One of the boys remains missing as of Thursday.

Five-month-old Kason and Kyair Thomas were inside their mom’s Honda when it was stolen from the Donatos Pizza at East 1st Avenue and North High Street in Columbus around 9:45 p.m. Monday.

Police said their mom had gone inside to pick up a Door Dash order.

Around 4:30 a.m. Tuesday, Kyair was found safe at the Dayton International Airport, according to police. Kason remains missing. He was last seen wearing a brown outfit.

The suspect in the abduction has been identified as Nalah Tamiko Jackson, 24, of Columbus. Police said she does have a criminal history.

Late Thursday morning, Columbus police warned the public of a scam involving the AMBER Alert.

Jackson was last spotted on surveillance video at a gas station in Huber Heights, near Dayton, where she asked an employee for money, according to police. Jackson was driving the stolen Honda at that time.

Columbus police said the car, a black 2010 Honda Accord, has a temp tag number M965246.

Police added the vehicle is missing the front bumper, has a torn temporary tag on the rear bumper, alongside a white bumper sticker that says “Westside City Toys.”

Police also believe the vehicle was in a car accident sometime after the kidnappings and now has heavy left side damage and purple paint on it.

Anyone with information is asked to call 911 or Columbus Police at (614) 645-4266.
