Human trafficking charge filed against suspect connected to disappearance of Beaver County teen
At least two people have formally been charged in connection with the disappearance of 17-year-old Isabella Phillips, a Beaver County teen who went missing and was found in Ohio over the weekend.
Johnathan Crowe, 25, of Mansfield, Ohio, is in custody and was charged with felony human trafficking by the Mansfield Police Department.
Ashlynn Quaintance, 19, of Bucyrus, Ohio, is in custody and is facing several charges brought forth by the Crawford County (Ohio) Prosecuting Office in conjunction with the Crawford County Sheriff's Office, the New Sewickley Township Police Department said in an updated news release on Tuesday morning.
Several agencies assisted with the search, including the New Sewickley Township Police Department, the Beaver County District Attorney's Office, and the FBI.
"The positive outcome from this investigation could not have been possible without the collaborative effort of many volunteer organizations and law enforcement agencies," the New Sewickley Township Police Department said in a statement.
The Ohio Attorney General's Bureau of Criminal Investigation is leading the investigation. Additional charges may be filed as the investigation remains active, officials say.

Joshua Jackson in custody battle with his ex-wife over daughter's schooling
The ink has barely dried on Joshua Jackson and Jodie Turner-Smith's divorce papers, and already the exes are locked in a bitter legal dispute over their shared parenting arrangement. The Doctor Odyssey star has filed an emergency custody review, claiming his ex-wife enrolled their five-year-old daughter, Juno, in a new school without his consent. In the documents, obtained by People magazine, Joshua (46) alleges that Jodie (38) believes, 'it's no big deal to force Juno to start over with a new school'. He also complains that the new school is 45 minutes away from his home, making regular drop-offs and pick-ups nearly impossible for him. However, Joshua's concern goes beyond the school change itself. 'Jodie is attempting to create a scenario where Juno travels with her rather than attending a traditional school,' he claims. The Dawson's Creek star wants the court to order that their daughter remains in her current school in Calabasas, in Los Angeles, for the upcoming academic year. He also wants it stipulated that both parents must agree before any future school changes can be made. View this post on Instagram A post shared by THE AGENCY: CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE (@theagency_sho) Joshua and Jodie met at a 2018 party hosted by R&B singer Usher. They married in secret a year later before welcoming Juno in April 2020. In October 2023, the British model and actress filed for divorce on the grounds of 'irreconcilable differences'. Joshua recently told USA Today that he believes Jodie is attempting to change their daughter's schooling so there is more flexibility for Juno to accompany her when she needs to travel for work.

'I started acting at a young age. I have spent a lot of time with on-set or on-location tutors,' he said. 'Even in the best case, it cannot begin to provide a child with the same nurturing and enrichment, peer relationships and social skills that a classroom and school community environment provides.' He added that Juno has already endured a lot of changes, from their divorce to her home burning down during the LA wildfires in January, so she doesn't need any more turmoil. 'Unnecessary school change cannot be in her interests.' Jodie is yet to speak publicly on the matter. Despite their legal woes, it seems they're both moving on with their lives. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Joshua Jackson (@vancityjax) Jodie currently stars in The Agency as Dr Sami Zahir, an academic who becomes romantically involved with an undercover CIA agent. Describing her role she says, 'I love playing a dark-skinned Sudanese woman speaking Arabic on this show. I believe it's one of the most beautiful languages on this planet and I hope that Arabic-speaking people feel represented.' She is also set to be filming in London throughout next year. Meanwhile, Joshua is gearing up to return to his home in LA, which had to be rebuilt after being destroyed in the wildfires.

Search for missing Richland County woman considered to be in danger ends
A search for a missing South Carolina woman is over. Mary Tresca Cook was safely located hours after she was publicly reported missing by the Richland County Sheriff's Department Wednesday. Information about when and where Cook was located was not available. Before she was tracked down, the 43-year-old had not been seen for days, the sheriff's department said in a news release. Cook was last seen Monday in the 2700 block of Colonial Drive, according to the release. That's in Columbia, in the area between North Main Street and Two Notch Road. There was no word if Cook was alone when she was last seen. The sheriff's department did not say if foul play was suspected in Cook's disappearance. The sheriff's department was worried that Cook might be in danger because of a medical emergency. Further information on her condition was not available.
