On April 19th, at 6:58pm, the Lafayette Police Department responded to the 2400-blk of Main Street to investigate the report of a missing endangered nine-year-old juvenile female. The mother of the missing child indicated that her daughter had been missing for approximately 30 minutes before the police were notified.

Lafayette police: Missing girl battered inside home on Park Avenue
433d30ba-41ee-40cc-9de7-baa5f09ae1a4-20210420_NF_Crime_01.JPG


“It was about 7 p.m. Monday when JW (snipped to initials by me) pulled into the alley near his home after work and noticed Chadwell speaking with a woman in a car. Five minutes later, W’s daughters called him to the window to see all of the police cars at their next-door neighbor's house – Chadwell's house.”

[...]

“"They pulled someone out on a gurney. I guess it was the little girl," Goodnight said. "They had her covered, so I guess she had injuries."”

[...]

“W and the other neighbour said Chadwell was new to the neighborhood, and he had told them he was buying the house on contract and worked at a local factory.”
