The family of Naomi Irion, an 18-year-old who has been missing since March 12, expressed their concerns as an ex-convict, Troy Driver, was arrested on suspicion of kidnapping the young woman in Fernley, Nevada, Your Content has learned.
Despite being in custody, Driver has chosen to remain silent, providing no information about Irion’s whereabouts.
The search for Irion continues, with authorities urging the public to come forward with any information that could lead to her safe return.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has even offered a $10,000 reward for credible information concerning Irion’s location.
Driver’s troubled past comes to light as it is revealed that he has a criminal record in California, including convictions for accessory to murder, robbery, and burglary.
In a disturbing incident back in 1997, when Driver was just 17 years old, he was involved in disposing of the body of a murdered 19-year-old meth dealer named Paul Rodriguez.
Consequently, Driver pleaded guilty and received a 15-year sentence in a California state prison, but he was released after serving 12 years.
Despite the alarming circumstances surrounding Irion’s disappearance and Driver’s criminal history, the family remains hopeful and has been assured that there is currently no reason to believe that Irion has come to harm.
The investigation into her case continues with authorities determined to uncover the truth and bring Irion back to her loved ones, according to News2.
