26-year-old Kaleb Ryan Keanaaina was taken into custody for aggravated kidnapping and fugitive from justice on April 15th. On April 14th, around 9:45 p.m., Autumn Wade went to the Central Precinct on Korean Veterans Boulevard to file a report, stating she had been held against her will by Keanaaina since April 6th. She told police that she moved from Morristown to do tattoo work with him and started living with him about a month ago. Then, Wade said on April 6th, she tried to leave, but he would not let her, and since then, he punched, strangled, and stomped her head, causing her to have multiple seizures. She said that Keanaaina knew she had a brain aneurysm and believed he was trying to rupture it. Wade added that he threatened her with a scalpel to hinder her from leaving. Due to her seizures, an ambulance was called, and she was transported to Vanderbilt Hospital. She provided officers with photos from April 6th, showing her with a black eye, blood around her eye, and scratches on her neck. Officers also noticed a bruise above her right eye, took pictures, and added them to the incident report. Officers checked Wade’s history and discovered it showed a report from April 6th, which was called in by a third-party caller, later identified as Keanaaina’s ex-girlfriend, Abby Rylon, who stated Wade texted her saying she was being held hostage at the Red Roof Inn. Officers went there on that day and could not locate Wade. Then, Rylon stated she went to the Rodeway Inn around 5:00 p.m. and “broke out” Wade, adding that Keanaaina had done this with her also. Then, on April 15th, around 3:30 a.m., officers arrived at Rodeway Inn to serve Keanaaina a warrant, located him, and detained him. While doing this, officers also discovered Keanaaina had an out-of-state warrant from Wisconsin.
