Cleveland, OH – The U.S. Marshals (USMS) in Cleveland, OH, in conjunction with the Cleveland Police Department (CPD) and the Perry Township Police Department (PTPD), recovered a fourteen (14) year old girl late yesterday evening.

The PTPD reached out to the USMS Missing Child Unit for assistance in the case and investigators began looking into the child’s disappearance. The investigation led authorities to the 3000 block of W. 60th St., Cleveland, OH where the child was ultimately recovered. 

Following the recovery, the Cleveland Police department made an arrest of an adult male (20) in conjunction with the recovery. Investigation and potential charges are pending.
