The Chatham County Sheriff’s Office has arrested a Carrboro man and charged him with multiple felonies, including three counts of kidnapping and three counts of human trafficking involving a child victim. Edwin Silva-Badillo, 22, was taken into custody Wednesday and is currently being held without bond at the Chatham County Detention Center.
The investigation started Saturday, when the sheriff’s office received a report of a missing child. Deputies say they then learned the juvenile had been communicating with an unknown adult male, later identified as Silva-Badillo, through social media.
Investigators say Silva-Badillo made three separate trips from Carrboro to Siler City, during which time he picked up the juvenile and transported her to his apartment. The Carrboro Police Department has executed a search warrant at Silva-Badillo’s apartment and is conducting its own parallel investigation.
Silva-Badillo is scheduled to appear in Chatham County District Court in Pittsboro Thursday.
