Suspect in child kidnapping indicted

A live-in baby sitter police initially thought was a woman but turned out to biologically be a man has been indicted on kidnapping charges, authorities say.

Edward Sadowski, also known as Erika Sadowski, is accused of taking two children and keeping them from their home in West Tennessee for close to 14 hours in March.

Sadowski was indicted by a Dyer County Grand Jury last week on two counts of attempted kidnapping.

Police say Sadowski left the home she shared with the two girls, 1 and 5, and their parents for a shopping trip with the children around 7 p.m. on March 17.

When they did not return by 1 a.m., the parents notified Dyersburg police, who issued an Amber Alert about the missing children.
