Still Missing FL - Leila Cavett, 21, of GA (son Kamdyn, 2, found alive on street), Miramar, 27 Jul 2020 #4 *arrest*

[Carmita V]

I live in Florida;
I believe the foster care system is a private company that operates in FL:
Perhaps they are making money by keeping this young child with strangers, compared to family... IMO

I live in South Florida. I don't know about how Foster care system works but at this point I believe anything about "trusting systems" unfortunately.

Leila Cavett

Leila CavettFBI
''Leila Cavett was reported missing after her two-year-old son, Kamdyn Cavett, was found wandering around alone outside an apartment complex in Miramar, Florida on July 26, 2020. The 21-year-old Dawsonville, Georgia mother was last seen in Hollywood, Florida, on July 25, 2020, driving a white mid-to-late 90s Chevy Silverado 3500 pickup truck with a red tailgate and a “Baby on Board” sign on the passenger window. On July 28, Leila’s pickup truck was found abandoned in a Walmart parking lot in Hollywood, two miles from where her son had been found the day before. In August, federal agents arrested Shannon Demar Ryan in Florida and charged him with kidnapping in connection to Leila’s disappearance. Shortly before Ryan’s arrest, he posted a video online discussing how he met up with Leila at a RaceTrac gas station in Hollywood on July 25 to buy her truck before her disappearance. According to the arrest affidavit provided to Dateline, Ryan told investigators he paid $3,000 to Leila for her truck and the three of them left in his 2004 Gold Lexus ES 330 to spend the day at Ft. Lauderdale beach, leaving the truck behind. When they returned, he parked at the gas pumps at RaceTrac and told investigators that Leila and her son left in a dark sedan with several unknown men. He stated it was the last time he saw her. According to the affidavit, law enforcement reviewed the security footage from the RaceTrac gas station, but it did not show Ryan’s car at the pumps where he described it, nor did it show L.C. (Leila) leaving in a dark sedan. Investigators say a car resembling Ryan’s was spotted on security video in front of the apartment complex in Miramar just minutes before Leila’s son was found. On August 15, law enforcement officials searched Ryan’s Lexus and discovered a half-empty container of all-purpose cleaner with bleach, several black trash bags and a white powdery substance. U.S. Magistrate Judge Lurana S. Snow has ordered that Ryan should be kept in custody until his trial. In October, the FBI in Miami searched the Monarch Hill Landfill in Pompano Beach, but did not release further details in the investigation, or how they were able to zero in on the landfill. “The FBI continues to actively pursue every lead related to this investigation,” the department said in a statement. “We are still seeking information about Leila Cavett’s disappearance.” Leila is described as being 5 feet 4 inches tall and weighing about 110 pounds. She has brown, shoulder-length hair and brown eyes. She has a tattoo that reads “Kamdyn” on her right arm and a small tattoo of a Christian fish symbol on her right wrist. The case has been turned over to the FBI. Anyone who may have information on Leila’s whereabouts is asked to call FBI Miami at 800-CALL-FBI or go to FBI.GOV/TIPS.''

Prayers and condolences to Leila Cavett’s family... I know this holiday season, the first since she went missing, must be so traumatic for her family...
Hope her young son has been returned to his family, or at least state where her family resides...
I check for her latest information routinely, living in FL and not too far from where she was last seen...
Praying for a resolution and peace for this devastated family...

Hopefully 2021 will bring resolution to Leila's case. May her remains be found and properly laid to rest, may her dear, sweet boy be united with a loving and caring family and may that filthy, nasty, piece of work be found guilty and sit on death row awaiting the needle.

Did her son get reunited with her family or is he still in the FL Foster Care? system?
Is the FBI still involved in looking for Leila; this is such a tragic case...

Kam is still in foster care it seems but he has met up in person with Leila's family recently. I believe he is in Alabama not Florida..

Thank you; I am glad to hear Kam is in his family’s state, and they are visiting

Thanks for the update, it's great to hear he's close to home now.

 

[Inquisitive2018]

I saw a recent pic of him holding his cousin he had a cute little grown haircut.

 

[Inquisitive2018]

I doubt we will see updates on him on MSM which makes sense to protect his privacy. I hope Leila family has what it takes so he can live with them permanently. I always wonder if at that age he is aware. It has to be traumatic to just not have your mommy anymore as it seems Leila was always with him. He may have even witnessed his Mother's murder. He was spared really. Most would have harmed him as well..



Back to SR, I dont believe he had thoughts of murdering Leila at first, it seems very sloppy. I hope we will know when exactly they first knew each other. I don't buy that 2am knock on the door nonsense.

Is anyone listening to the court hearing? I am hoping we get an update!!
