Young girl Who Has Been Missing Since 2019 Finally Found Hidden Under The Staircase
young girl who went missing more than two years ago in 2019 was finally found hiding in a secret room under the stairs in a New York home.
This young 6-year-old girl named Paislee Shultis was just 4-years-old when she went missing from her Cayuga Heights home. After her disappearance, the police initially suspected her non-custodial parents – Kimberly Cooper and Kirk Shultis Jr – as her abductors, but did not bring charges.
She was located in a home in the town of Saugerties, in the Hudson River Valley, after a police search on Monday, authorities said.
According to the authorities, Shultis was found by New York Police after they acted on a tip that she was being hidden in Saugerties, a town in the Hudson Valley. They obtained a warrant to search a home on Fawn Road after receiving information that the youngster was being held at a residence on the street.
According to a report by NBC New York, the owner of the house had no knowledge of whereabouts when police knocked on the door, saying she hadn’t seen her since the child was reported missing.
After the police searched the house for the little girl, they found Shultis and her non-custodial mother, Kimberley Cooper, in a ‘makeshift room’ concealed beneath a closed staircase, which led to the house’s basement.
They both were apparently found inside the darkroom once the stairs were removed.
Saugerties Police Chief Joseph Sinagra said in a statement: “A little over an hour into the search of the residence, the child was located secreted in a makeshift room, under a closed staircase leading to the basement of the residence.”
After being found the little girl was taken to the hospital to get her checked up. She was found in good health. This is when she was released and reunited with her older sister.
However, Kimberly Cooper was arrested on charges including custodial interference and endangering the welfare of a child. Her non-custodial father, Kirk Shultis Jr, was charged with felony custodial interference and misdemeanour child endangerment.

What monkey fled with a bag containing evidence in it: Read full story
The court, generally, considers a person who commit a crime and the one who destroys the evidence, as criminals in the eyes of law. But what if an animal destroys the evidence of a crime committed by a human.
In a peculiar incident in Rajasthan, a monkey fled away with the evidence collected by the police in a murder case. The stolen evidence included the murder weapon (a blood-stained knife).
The incident came to light when the police appeared before the court and they had to provide the evidence in the hearing.
The hearing was about the crime which took place in September 2016, in which a person named Shashikant Sharma died at a primary health center under Chandwaji police station. After the body was found, the deceased’s relatives blocked the Jaipur-Delhi highway, demanding an inquiry into the matter.
Following the investigation, the police had arrested Rahul Kandera and Mohanlal Kandera, residents of Chandwaji in relation to the murder. But, when the time came to produce the evidence related to the case, it was found that the police had no evidence with them because a monkey had stolen it from them.
In the court, the police said that the knife, which was the primary evidence, was also taken by the monkey. The cops informed that the evidence of the case was kept in a bag, which was being taken to the court.
The evidence bag contained the knife and 15 other important evidences. However, due to the lack of space in the malkhana, a bag full of evidence was kept under a tree, which led to the incident.
