AUSTIN (KXAN) — Two people were arrested after they were accused of a kidnapping that happened at a southeast Austin apartment complex last week, according to the Austin Police Department.

Those people were identified as 56-year-old Jeffrey Caneen and 32-year-old Taylor Brasher, according to police. They were both charged with aggravated kidnapping, a first-degree felony.

Attorney information was not available for Caneen as of Wednesday. affiliate KXAN reached out to Brasher’s attorney for a statement. We will update this if one is received.

APD officers responded to a kidnapping abduction hotshot call around 1:40 p.m. in the 2600 block of South Pleasant Valley Road on March 14. The caller said a 7-year-old child “was missing from the apartment,” police said.

According to an arrest warrant affidavit, the mother of the child told police she left the child in the apartment alone while she went to the store. When she went back to the apartment, she said the child was missing.

When the mother went into the apartment, she noticed some sodas were missing, which she said was “suspicious” and was afraid someone entered the apartment and had taken her daughter. She began yelling for the child and did not get a response. She then went to the leasing office for help and called police, according to the affidavit.

When officers arrived, they spoke with the mother of the child, and then “spectators began to state the child was in another apartment,” according to police.

One neighbor told police they heard the child “screaming inside one of the apartments.”

Officers then found the child in the apartment where Caneen and Brasher lived, and then they were both detained by police, court records said.

How the alleged kidnapping happened

Both Caneen and Brasher were detained by police after the child was found. When police questioned Brasher, she said she saw the child walking in the breezeway of the building and asked her to show her where they lived, court records state.

Brasher said she then went inside the child’s apartment and packed a backpack “with clothing and toiletries.” She also began to eat the child’s food and then took sodas and soup from the apartment, according to the affidavit.

This made the child upset, and they tried to push Brasher and then stomped on her feet to get her to stop taking the food and sodas. Brasher then “hit” the child before taking them back to her apartment.

Once at the apartment, Brasher and Caneen assaulted the victim. The child told them both they wanted to go home and “tried to escape through the door.”
