Missing Louisville man was kidnapped and is being held for ransom, police say
The Louisville Metro Police Department is seeking the public's help in locating a missing man who was last seen Tuesday on Crockett Drive in the Pleasure Ridge Park area.Jermaine Sprewer, 25, is missing from the 6100 of Crockett Drive, and his family said "he hasn't been in contact and they fear for his safety," according to LMPD.
In a Thursday morning press conference, LMPD Sgt. Matt Kennington said police were notified Tuesday that Sprewer's family received several FaceTime calls from "assailants" and could see Sprewer "bound, with several guns pointed at him."
"During the calls, a large sum of money was demanded in exchange for his safe return," Kennington said. "The family has since not heard from the assailants."
Kennington did not provide the ransom amount or say whether the family paid it, and he said the FaceTime calls appeared to come from the number for Sprewer's phone.
