KANAWHA COUNTY, WV (WOWK)– Two people have been indicted in connection to an alleged child abduction in Dunbar, West Virginia in March.
On Aug. 3, a Kanawha County grand jury indicted David McCallister, 21, of Charleston, and Jada McCallister, 19, of Dunbar on charges connected to the alleged abduction.

The grand jury indicted Jada Lynn McCallister on charges of kidnapping, aiding and abetting and soliciting a minor via computer.
West Virginia State Police said troopers responded to the scene in Dunbar around 11:30 p.m. Monday, March 20, following a call that a girl had possibly been abducted by a registered sex offender.
